3. it is cool isnt it

have you ever seen one live, and in person?

[Spacemom]

6. Unfortunately

No.

I would love to though.

I'm still waiting on Lazarus Long to swing by in Dora and take me to the stars. :D

7. No, but I had a friend who once told me it was better than sex.

And this friend wasn't the type to get into scientific achievements or other geeky stuff, so it must be pretty impressive. Though, to be fair, I don't know that he was doing the sex thing right...

8. I saw Challenger live and in person in 1986.

Even as a five year old it was still very disturbing to see, especially in person.

9. I can imagine

I was 14 and home sick from school with a fever. I kept falling asleep and seeing it explode over and over. :(

11. Wow

I remember seeing that on TV in class, I cant imagine what it was like actually being there for that.

4. I hope I can see it from my office.

I am able to see it from home. Just hope there are no obstructions. I'm heading out there.

5. Saw about 3 seconds of it before the boosters came off.

Pretty cool. The night ones are a lot easier to see, though.

10. We can see it from the Keys,

but dammit, I forgot today.

Hard to see as well in the daylight.
