h3adsh0t Posted January 29, 2015 Content Count: 581 Joined: 06/09/08 Status: Offline Share Posted January 29, 2015 I remember wanting to be an astronaut when I was younger and my 4th grade teacher showed us this. Let's just say I didn't want to be one anymore. Definitely a catastrophe. RIP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment

This was the day that stopped. RIP. Are any of you old enough to have been around when it happened? My father was working for the company that made the SRB's at the time. Link to comment
