Re: Who Watched the Final Liftoff?
I got to see the first shuttle take off after the Challenger Tragedy. I was at location that was supposed to be about as close as the general public could get.
It seemd almost like everybody was just holding their collective breaths when we all heard the fatefull words "Throttle up" come over the car radios.
To this day, it still remains the most stunning manmade phenomena I've ever seen and one that I will never forgot.
