Wow.I'd have a hard time keeping a straight face if I was there. Hell, I'm having a hard time right now.
I thought they had buried all of the Challenger wreckage in a silo. Where have they been keeping this piece for all of these years?
seeing the eyes of Columbia (Thats how I view her window panels on display)
Visited KSC back in July and didn't know about this memorial display before going so got quite an emotional surprise when I got to it. Seeing the panel from Challenger and Columbias window made my eyes tear up. For some reason seeing the actual tormented hardware in person invoked just a different realization of what happened and the true reality of it. The mental disconnect that a screen provides gets ripped away in an instant and it all becomes bare harsh reality.
