In my momma's belly. 
2nd grade no specific memories though...
thinking about being born in 5 years... man, being on here makes me feel like im a little kid... oh well.
Man you guys are young....I remember asking my Mom why she was crying....President Kennedy had been shot. watched the news on our black&white tv with 2 channels.
I was working in Tampa FL at my first job out of college.
I love Regans words......."the future does not belong to the faint hearted but to the brave"
I was also devastated by 1.) the NASA reports that concluded the astronauts likely survived the initial breakup and most likely died on impact with the water and 2.) the breakdown in communication between the mission control people and the engineering people at Morton Thiokol regarding the cold temrperatures and the O rings.
Sad day.

Sad day.
Sitting in the College Dorm TV room. Watching them talk about Christa McAuliffe, first "Teacher In Space". Watched that over and over, for days.
Space is worth the cost. I'd go, if they'd let me.

... and was she hot
Study Hall, I think I was in 7th grade. I just went back to my desk after getting wall to wall therapy with my High School Principal (whom I used to skip school to go duck hunting with) for shooting spitballs on the ceiling. Checked out and went and watched it in the library watching it over and over on 3 channels.
Anyone remember the next day Alpo introduced a new dog food? It was called shuttles and bits. (Kibbles and Bits). Pretty morbid and I'm still going to hell for laughing at it.

I was 23 and watching it on TV. I could not believe what had just witnessed. Many years later, Christa McAuliffe's (the teacher who died) mother would say "At that moment, it exploded into a million pieces....just like all of our hearts". Watching her say that, was more heartbreaking than watching the explosion.
I was a senior in HS, in World History class. still remember to this day, someone ran in the class room and said what happened, we ran down to the library where they had a TV on and watched the reply, over and over.
Sad.
Just like someone else on here said, just like 9/11, I'll never forget it and where I was and what I was doing.

I was in the 9th grade, they brought tv's into the lunchroom so we could watch it on tv. Funny it does not seem like that long ago.
