...the Challenger distaster occurred.

I was at work, we heard the news and rushed upstairs to the Administrative Hearing Room and switched on the TV. There were replays of the explosion, and I fully expected the Shuttle to pop out of the fireball and glide to Earth. It didn't, and we grew up a bit more that day.

A moment of silence, please.
