A couple photos from my past...
I was working @ JSC when the Challenger blew up. I was the (then) Video Tech for George S. W. Abbey, the Director of NASA, in Houston. I was in the lobby of BLDG. 1 when the news hit the monitor. You could have heard a pin drop!
It was surreal...
This was the response from the global public:
@m15t3r_dr4g0n I cannot imagine. Amazing that you were there.
I literally had my finger on the challenger when it exploded.
My mom was making me clean the house & in order to watch the launch, I spent a long while cleaning the screen.
I remember that I had my hand over it & then when I moved to wipe it was gone.
My mom found me kneeling in front of the TV with tears streaming down my face. I still can't believe it, years later.
I have always believed Life is a series of blessings & curses.
Sometimes, both!
I would not change any part of it, though. If we did that, we wouldn't be who we are - for better or for worse.

Emotionally I can only imagine what being there was like during & the days/weeks after.
Couldn't hug you then, pls take one now.🤗
@m15t3r_dr4g0n Wise words. 👍 😎
