Just watched the replay, cool as hell. Could not see it from just east of Tampa today, there were too many clouds to the east.
16,000 mph is crazy... and they said the space station rolls at 17,000.
I was doing a 12 story building on the causeway in Tampa when the Challenger went up. It was a very clear day and we could see it pretty well with binoculars. When things went wrong we were like this doesn't look right. So we went down to our trucks and put the radio on and that's when we found out what actually happened.
