I was in my seventh-grade english class, when my teacher walked in and, as
calmly as he could, said that the space shuttle had blown up.  A science class
down the hall had been watching it.  The teacher of that class came into the
room, called ours out who returned with the news.  We all thought that it was
some tasteless joke.  I did especially; being a major fan of the space program
for as long as I can remember...It wasn't until much much later that I got to
see the footage(on the evening news, over and over and over again), that I
lost my doubts as to whether or not it had actually happened.  I am glad to
see that the accident did not put any impossible road-blocks in the space
program, and that it kind of put the politicians in charge of verifying
launches back in their place.  Hopefully, there is still a good future in the 
space program and NASA...
