Watched on monitors with the rest of our team at Michoud. Having watched every launch, everyone knew instantly it was bad.
Y’all actually monitors that showed every launch. Did you work on the shuttle? That is cool!

5 years of spraying foam insulation on the external tanks. there were monitors all over the facility. They showed every launch live. The minute the Challenger broke apart there was a lot of "oh frick!"s and "holy shite!"s.
That was January 28. By April 15 they cut the workforce nearly in half. No severance or anything. Just a meeting with the unemployment people. Back then it was $205 a week.
