      Did you actually watch it in school live? What happened? How did you feel, what did you think?

        I was third or fourth grade. We had a TV in the classroom that I remember watching that launch, and the last episode of sesame Street with something on it.

        The launch was weird. We saw it, but to me at least, it just happened. Adults were much more concerned. But I did want to be an astronaut according to my old school stuff, so maybe it left more of an impression than I remember now.

    What does the challenger disaster have to do with the image?

      It’s a picture of someone (supergirl?) looking exited and innocent. Like a school child about to watch a teacher going to space. And then the teacher explodes and die

      Idk maybe in the show someone is about to give bad news to supergirl. Like Superman exploded in the challenger shuttle disaster or something

      What am I even writing
