My business partner, an employee, and I were busy making transparencies and other preparations for some upcoming sales training seminars. We had turned on his giant 6ft. screen TV to watch the launch. Needless to say we were devastated when all of a sudden the Challenger exploded. We just couldn't believe what we had just seen. The rest of the day was spent watching the explosion over and over again. I particularly remember seeing Christa’s parents staring in disbelief at what used to be their daughter’s launch vehicle. They were in such shock that all they could do was hold each other while staring at the explosion. There, up in the sky, on a day that was to be the culmination of their daughter’s dreams, Christa’s parents watched her die. My heart broke for them that day.
