I just watched a live broadcast of a failed rocket launch from Virginia.

I watched Challenger happen from the side of the road in Sebastian FL.

I was just exiting 95 in Sebastian as the beginning vapor trail arose on a clear cold Feb.a.m. in FL.

I pulled over and watched as it rose to its zenith and exploded into what looked something like a fools cap.

I tuned in a news station and awaited confirmation of what my eyes already told me.

I was thinking that morning, that it was too freaking cold for that shit.

I wonder if you can get insurance for that kind of thing? Not only do you have the expense of the rocket and its five tons of supplies but the launch pad and surrounding area were also seriously damaged.
Just glad no one was killed. I remember watching the Challenger exploding, scary time.
