Thirty years ago this morning we woke up to the news of the Challenger disaster.
I was just starting year 7. My parents heard it on the radio in bed, and told us about it.
I remember being quite stunned at the time.
I also remember that jokes about it came out *very* quickly in those pre-internet days. (eg - what does NASA stand for? need another seven astronauts)
Sad times..

I can't believe I forgot about this until I read it here.

I was reminded by the astronauts I follow on Twitter
