The Day Things Changed

The Space Challenger exploded in January of 1986, I interviewed my mom about she went through and she felt like when it happened. It was the day thins changed!

What was going through your head at the time?
It didn't seem real, like it wasn't happening.
Where were you at the time?
I was still in High school.
Were you afraid of this happening again?
Not really at the time but when the next space shuttle launched I was a little nervous.
How likely do you think this is of happening again?
I think it is about 10% likly to happen again.
Has there been anything similar to it?
Yes, there was something else that blew up but I don't remember it that well.
Where did the explosion happen?
Over the Atlantic Ocean.
How did it happen?
Just some bad parts used to make it.
Is there a memorial, if not do you think there should be one?
There might be one near Cape Canaveral

The explosion of the space shuttle was a very sad times especially for those who lost loved ones. When it happened it was with in less than a minute after the launch it exploded right over the Atlantic Ocean. And that is why it was the day things changed.
