I saw this launch - my only first-hand witness of a rocket launch. I was a senior in high school in Durham, NC, and went on a field trip with about 20 classmates to see it. Ron McNair, who flew on this flight, later spoke at our graduation ceremony that year, and tragically perished two years later when the same shuttle exploded after lift-off. It was an unforgettable experience.
