Having read, watched and listened to so many programs and books on challenger this is something I've pondered a few times, how did I watch it. I know as the 25th launch it was unlikely live here but the teacher in space program certainly made it more prominent. As mentioned above, I'll have seen/heard via newsround.

Nasas eyes on the solar system site is the goto site for anything like that, its tracking every object. You can even see where the original voyagers are for comparison.

Mind boggling.

I guess the only saving grace is this mission looks a bit more interesting on the face of it.

The last mission I was aware of was when they launched that group of celebrities into the ozone layer and it made a mockery of space exploration.

At least this one appears a bit more meaningful.
 
I watched the launch like. Fantastic.

I couldn't agree with an American girl watching on in tears though, who told the reporter this miraculous achievement is the pinnacle of mankind's scientific ability. It's three gadgies and a lass strapped to a rocket at the end of the day, and it's not like it's not been done before. I think the true miracle of science is creating life and curing disease.

A small crumb in a sea of shit right now.
What an incredible achievement.

It really did feel very strange last night, watching the news all evening, felt like a big celebration and absolutely wall to wall positivity.

We have this and the upcoming proposed lunar landings which they're targeting to happen by 2028 off the back of this.

Some absolutely terrific and exciting things to witness in a world full of shit.

Absolutely the most interesting, exciting and impressive thing (Brobbey aside) that I have seen in a long time.

The power, the tech, the science, the engineering, the spectacle, just amazing and inspiring for my kids at least.

The first Columbia launch was in school hours. Still remember watching it from our library. Challenger crash was after school as I was playing JetSetWilly when mum told me!
