We were at The Kennedy Space Center back in "86 and saw it take off one mornng. The sound was incredible, the light unreal like the pictures show. But one thing that few epolple talk about is the trembling of the earth as the rocket engines launch it into space. The experience is one you never forget.
There was only one successful shuttle launch in 1986. Jan 12, 1986 - Space Shuttle Columbia. On Jan 28th the Challenger exploded 73 seconds after lift off. A shuttle did not launch again till September 29, 1998.
