I remember exactly where I was and where my children were on this day. We lived in Houston, Texas. My oldest son and his entire school were watching this on television. My youngest, my mother and I were watching this from home. It was with great anticipation because of one teacher. Then things went badly. It became clear that the teachers and administraters had to deal with this immediately. They asked all parents that called to please leave the kids in school. They had counselors talking to the children as a whole and individually. I chose to let my son stay in school. Post traumatic stress syndrome resulted with a lot of the children that watched the Challenger lift off that day. Mine included. Many still refuse to watch the lift off of ANY shuttle or rocket of any kind. Regardless of what the reasoning behind the explosion was, it affected a nation. One way or the other. It affected how we look at things related to space flight. Has NASA learned from this? No. Another Shuttle exploded on re-entry for some of the same reasons. Did NASA learn from that? Only time will tell. I am wholeheartedly for space exploration. I just wish the government would stay out of it. Let those that understand the shuttle and other things under development do their jobs. A politician has no place in NASA.
