I have made my usual mistake this time of year

[kitewithfish]

which is reading things about Challenger.

I didn't realize I was sentimental about space shuttles until I went to the museum in New York where Enterprise stored and started crying. 

I was seventeen when Columbia died. 

I really wish Columbia and Challenger were in museums.

I was 9/10 when the Challenger Disaster happened. When it happened another kid came down from our schools library and told everybody that the Space shuttle had blown up. None of us, including the teacher, believed him. Once we got back from recess, there was a tv set up in our class room and we watched the coverage for the rest of the day.

Columbia happened when I was an adult and I am still not over either one of those.
