Science 25th Anniversary of The Challenger On Friday - Page 3

**Donger** · 01-26-2011, 12:41 PM

I can't believe that it's been 25 years. I was in school when I heard the news. You?

**Donger** · 01-26-2011, 01:39 PM

I've never seen this before. Mildly NSFW:

Sophomore year of college, came back to the dorm room between classes and flipped on the TV. The shuttle had just exploded and they were trying to figure out what happened.

IIRC, I skipped the rest of my classes that day and just sat down and watched.

while they may have been alive, they would have been comatose, so they at least didn't know what was happening.

*edit* heh, just read the wiki. I had always heard they would have been unconcious due to lack of pressurization, guess some disagree.

I remember our teacher was crying. Sad day.

That's some bad taste. Speaking of which, does anyone know what the last thing said on Challenger was?

It's not depressing, it's stupid because it's not real. It's almost comical.

It's also ridiculous that even a shameless tabloid would print something like that, knowingly false.

That's the official version. What was actually said by Scobee was: "Okay, let the women drive."
