@kairyssdal on vaca in FL… dad had a headache so we didn't go to the launch. Stepped outside, and saw a strange cloud alone in the sky…

@kairyssdal Watching the shuttle launch in my grade school classroom. We were all so excited about the first teacher in space. Can't forget.

@kairyssdal I was in the @washingtonpost newsroom, where we all watched in silent shock.

@kairyssdal 3rd grade recess. Teacher called us back to class. Another teacher at our school had applied for Christa McAuliffe's slot.

@kairyssdal Working in an electronics department watching the launch live on about 30 televisions. Took my breath away.
