This is so odd, but the day before the challenger launched, I was chatting about the shuttle with my sister on the phone. I was 5 months pregnant with my second child and I said to my sister, "you know if I had children I would not go up in that thing, it could explode". I never did like the idea of the shuttle being strapped to a gas station like that. The next day I was home playing with my young son and the phone rang. It was my sister saying, "the shuttle exploded". I guess I am not a risk taker and the shuttle seemed to dangerous to me, especially if you have little ones to care for. I could not have left my kids to go up in that thing, as my children always came first to me. It is like a premonition or something on my part. Scary.
