I do clearly remember being in my Eng Lit class at some point afterwards, when a born-again friend of mine declared in all seriousness and without any shame, to the whole class, that "God" literally reached down and sabotaged the shuttle because "He" didn't want any humans snooping around heaven - I shit you not. Then he got all confused and offended when everyone, including the teacher Mr Gardner, couldn't stop laughing at him.

I'm gonna guess that you were born in 71.

69. Which is also my favourite number and my favourite meal. Yeah, I fucked up on the maths and I'm going to blame it on autocorrect...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

For Challenger, I was in Charlotte Amalie hoofing it down the main drag next to the ocean. People in cars driving by shouting out the news. Didn't really believe until I saw it on TV.

Where were you? Any other pivotal events where you remember where you were when the news broke.

No exciting place was I, just a freshman in college. There was of course the consensus of shocked disbelief that NASA had managed to fuck up and kill astronauts again, and this time they did it twice as big as they did before.
Mr. Hanky loves you!

That's why Ms. Piggy can never count to 70!
