That must have been an extremely difficult time for you <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> I echo the sentiments that it's a good thing you're still alive and with us! I just can't believe it's been five years already. I remember being seventeen and in love with NASA and everything they did, and when my mom came and told me what had happened, it felt like the world had ended. I think a lot of people thought I was weird for reacting the way I did, because it didn't directly effect me, but I think that's why I was so miserable about it, because I couldn't do a thing to help, I was just a high schooler living in Colorado, and I felt so useless. But for those who were involved, such as yourself, I imagine the stress had to be pretty intense. Like I said, sorry you had to go through all that, and glad you're still with us now!

Were you on console for the mission shuttle_guy?<br /><br />I didnt have internet access at the time so couldnt watch on Nasatv. In a way i think that was a good thing. Not sure how i would have reacted watching the events unfold live from Mission Control
