Quote: "Sitting there watching the vapor trails spread across the sky like unraveling intestines, you all wait in desperate silence for the PAO to come back on and say something reassuring, assert some control over this mess, wrestle it down, make it behave. Why is he leaving you there in silence, you wonder?" (Currie Jr. 68)
Response/Personal: The story seems to have a timeline now seeing as how the challenger disaster really did happen. This section of the book sort of reminds me of the first blog or second blog I did that talked about how happiness is always short-lived. This is basically what happened here. Junior had been in his class and he and his classmates, along with his new found love, and the teacher, were all going to watch the challenger launch and go into space, everyone was excited except for Junior, guess he had a reason why.
