I was a kid back in highs chool in South Africa back then. I remember my grandmother walking into our living room and telling us that "something had happened" to the shuttle. We all went in to look at the news and were shocked. I'll remember that experience always. Part of America's greatness that was well recognized internationally. Not just the technology of space exploration but complete difference of attitude to it compared for example the Russians who did it all in secrecy. The US was prepared to let the world see everything in real time, both it's triumphs and tragedies.
