Yeh, I remember the jokes

Favourite Drink - 7uP
NASA - Need Another Seven Astronauts
Last thing they said - What does this button do
What do tampon users and Christa McAuliffe have in common - They both should have stayed on the pad.

25 years ago though, amazing how time passes.

You forgot one...

I think Challenger was the first "I remember what I was doing that day" moment of my life, the others being 9/11 attacks and Princess Diana's death

The shuttle tragedy really hit home with me, I was 15 at the time and heavily into aviation and in particular the shuttle cos each launch back then was quite an event.

I remember going out and buying all the papers in the morning to get as much information as I could about what happened

Terrible waste of life, and if reports are to be believed some of the astronauts were attempting to activate their personal safety equipment as the orbiter fell to earth.

Its a dangerous activity. They knew the risks.

I'd say the same for motorsport, by the gayboys at F1 don't qualify. Numby Pandies

they sit on a bullet chair containing hundreds of tons of hdyrogen and oxygen .. nothing ever is that much dangerous..

but from engineering point of view , its unacceptable that all this tragedy is caused by a bad quality o-ring.. :(

My brother, the lucky, jammy bugger has driven one. Surprised he wedged his fat gut in, along with all his chins.  No, no bitterness there ;D ;D

One of his suppliers flew him to Catalunya, where he was trained to drive single seaters, before strapping him in a real F1 :o. Git. Utter git. I would happily have gone in his place ::)
