I was in my ME 301 Measurements class when the professor walked in and told us the news. Inadvertently, I ended up with a job in the aerospace industry as a result of the Challenger accident. NASA went into a "stand down" posture immediately after the accident and then started ramping up in the late '80s. I was hired during the "ramp up" and ended up working on the first Spacelab launch after Challenger (Astro-1 in 1990).
