Living not only in Houston but the SE side in Clear Lake wear knowing in astronaut is considered normal, this tragedy hit me very hard. I was actually living on the poor side of town in Seabrook TX when I saw the Challenger explode on television. School was canceled, it hit everyone very hard. My mother still tells the story of calling the school immediately following the accident and the receptionist was in complete tears and hung up on her. It’s hard to think about, I had astronauts as soccer coaches and the children of astronauts some of which died that day in my classes and the footage of the Challenger exploding still chokes me up till this day.
