Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I was a senior in highschool and the principle came over the intercom and told us about it. In my senior year book there is the famous picture of the explosion.
I remember it well also. I was doing a walk through of a building that we bidding on for a mill tailing removal job in Grand Junction. The TV was in the reception area and me the other contractors and the people from Bendix just stood dumbfounded watching the coverage.
I remember that I was monitoring the satellite TV system for my high school and was actually the only one onsite that saw it happen live. I've never forgotten it and never will.
Thanks to all the men and women that support and take the risks that afford such achievements.
watched it on tv @ work in the bookeepers office. isn't it amazing what we see as it happens sometimes...........
I was six at the time living in Satellite Beach Florida. Everyone at my school was dismissed to the playground to watch the launch. There was a female teacher from our area on board this mission. Alot of tears were shed that day.
Satellite Beach? :shock: :shock: :shock: That's where I went to locksmith school when I was in the navy. 6 weeks, no nearby bases... :twisted: say hello mr. hotel and mr. gov't. credit card. :twisted: :P :twisted: Karl.
