Well, I was done class early that morning and went home for lunch (I was on
M.S.Time).  I flipped on the T.V. and saw the shuttle about to launch.  I
found out later that this was post-explosion coverage, but when I switched
on the 'tube they had decided to show the launch sans commentary, just
listening to mission control.  So for me, it was "real time" with no
warning.  I just thought "cool--a shuttle launch," and couldn't believe it
when it exploded.
