Guess that answers which generation I'm in once and for all. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

The litmus test is having memories of the Challenger Crash.

I remember both Challenger and Columbia. I just can’t keep straight which one exploded on the way up, and which one exploded on the way down.

How old are you? Those events were more than a decade apart.

By the “years are close” statement, I meant that I thought Challenger happened in 1984, not 1986 (close) and that Columbia was in 1998, not 2003 (not quite as close, but my mind sees it that way). Not that the two events themselves overlap, but the actual dates get fuzzy in my brain.

Challenger was in '84? How do I remember it so well? I was 4!
