> What were you doing when the Challenger exploded? Walking from one class to another, while I was in the 8th grade. I was likely walking from my English class, but I don't recall what class I was walking to. I was told by a friend of mine who had just gotten out of his science class. We both participated at the time in the "Young Astronauts Program" as an afterschool thing, taught by our science teacher. I was walking past the PE locker / gym building, in a grassy area. For all I know, though, this was so long ago that I could be completely wrong, so I don't really trust that memory too much; that's just how I remember it.
