Yes I remember Challenger among others, I remember the dignity and emotion I would have gone through. And yes, there would be no emotion because it would be an easy duty to die with dignity or alternatively none at all and have an uncontrolled disaster, what would you choose.

I was only five when the challenger disaster happened. I remember we were all sitting at our desk in kindergarten probably coloring or doing some other busy work. We weren't watching television at the time but I guess some of the older kids were. I just remember one of the other teachers coming into the classroom sobbing and delivered the grim news to our teacher. They tried not to let us know but we could tell something was terribly wrong.

I was 3 years old when it happened, and I remember the footage on TV and how it haunted me so. I remember one of the scenes was that of smoke that was shaped in the form of a "bunny-rabbit" (head and ears of the rabbit) and as a child of that age, that was my take on it, but it was very scary to me. I would go to sleep at night in the days following, thinking about those scary images. You'd think a child of that age would not remember, but I remembered it as if I was a teenager when It happened. It was the first "tragedy" I remembered in my life.

I was in the second grade. We were all watching it on TV in school; after all, a teacher was being sent into space. When it exploded, my expression was the same as when I saw the plane crashing into Tower Two on 9/11, over 15 years later: "Is this for real...?"
