We were in the library at school and the Principal wheeled out a TV so my class could watch the Challenger launch (6th grade I think). We were stunned and just watched TV until I had to go to my music lesson. During that lesson, the Principal announced it over the loudspeakers. That evening, my parents watched the news from the time they got home until the time they went to bed, and that image was repeated thousands of time.

Columbia, I was on the computer and had a feeling I should watch the landing. So I went out to the living room and turned the TV on to watch the landing.
