We has one of those early big satellite dish systems...

I just remember being numb... My mother was upstairs sorting through our huge science fiction book collection- I remember going up and telling her what had happened....

Sad day...

When the Columbia accident happened I had my answering machine in my room- I was awoken by a call from my brother- the handset was downstairs so I just listened to his message half asleep- by the end of it I was wide awake. The first place I went for info was the HZ space board- I suspected that I would get faster and more detailed info here than on CNN- I was right.

I believe that was Davin's intro to the HZ...
