[King Rudi]

I was 10 years old. Elementary school and it snowed here that day so we were out of school. I was in my bedroom facilitating an ass-whooping for Duke and Gung-Ho by Destro, Zartan and Cobra Commander when my sister came in my room telling me about what had happened. We spent the rest of the day glued to the TV watching the news reports. I do remember that my grade school teacher had applied for the opportunity to be on the Challenger. I don't remember the details but apparently NASA wanted to send a teacher into space. I do remember how disappointed she was that she was not called upon, but I also remember her excitement for Christa McAuliffe who was the teacher on board.
