Did you work on the shuttle?
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.
