I was a college sophomore for that launch ... downstairs neighbor had a TV. I remember seeing snippets of that one.

What I will never forget is the day Challenger died. 1986 January 28. I was driving from MD to NJ and stopped at a mall. This is back when we bought TVs at the big mall-anchor department stores. The Penney's had a wall of fifty to a hundred screens. The mall was silent. Everyone was clustered in front of the TV wall watching them looping that crab claw-shaped cloud over and over in fifty different sizes. .
I was on a ship down range holding security that quickly shifted into searching for debris - we didn't find anything larger than a car door. : (

I awoke today by someone ringing my downstairs doorbell this afternoon. It's almost always an Amazon delivery, but this time a dude says, 'This is Com Ed, buzz me up!', just like that. I replied that I do not have an appointment with com ed. "I need to get in to your building", he says to which I reply, 'then make an appointment with building management, are you new?' "Okay, someone will be calling you in 2-5 days about this!" to which I replied, 'They'll be calling whom? What is my name?' "Durden." he replies. 'Yes, that's what's listed on my buzzer. What is my first name?' He doesn't reply, so I look out my window at who is walking away. This dude was not dressed as a worker, and he was carrying 3-4 good size packages. I opened my window and yelled, 'Hey! Are those your packages???' and he started jogging without looking back. Yep, he was a thief looking for easy access to xmas season deliveries. Fortunately, I had nothing down there for him to take. Be really careful at this time of year, guys...
