I was in the first grade, and because Christa McAuliffe was a teacher, there was a satellite broadcast of the launch into many schools, so we watched it live. I was a science geek from a young age, so I was excited about watching it (plus, it meant less math class). My teacher quickly turned it off once it became obvious that the launch wasn't going well, and it wasn't until I got home that my parents told me what had happened.
