I'm sure many of you people remember the Challenger explosion of 1986. For those of you who do, I need to find several people to interview about their recollection of it. I am doing a very extensive research paper for a  class and any help you guys could offer me would be more than appreciated. if you are at all interested in talking with me about it, please email me. Don't reply to this thread because i'll probably not be back to check it. So, any help would be wonderful. No later than December 1st, 2005. Thanks.

:\'( I remember it VERY well..I was renting a house from my granparents and I was Glued to the TV.. cause I am totally into anything to do with science and I have always been so very interested into space...I was very interested also because of the teacher ..Christa Mcautliffe..( Spelling??)...I have always wanted to go into space....I watched as they took off and the most horrible thing happened...I felt soo hopeless... and even now..I can not watch anyone go into space and feel safe...that was the most horrible thing ever..,.

In my elementary school I knew a teacher who was friends with Christa McAuliffe where they went to school together (can't remember which one though).

Punky Brewster dedicated a whole episode to the Challenger disaster and it guest starred Buzz Aldrin. The episode was called "Accidents Happen" from Season 2.

  OK, and just where the heck are we supposed to e-mail it to?

i actually have a little school paper i wrote about it a few years ago. i'll see if i can find it lying around somewhere...

I was at work.  The room next to my office was a conference room that had a t.v.  During lunch time, many people went in there to watch the soaps. Someone came into the office to tell us about it. At first I thought they were joking (actually I HOPED they were joking). We all went next door to watch the t.v. It was truly a sad, sad day.  :\'( :\'(

I was in the 4th grade. We watched it on tv. Because of the following trauma, we had an early dismissal.
