The "space" moment that left the greatest impression on me was the Challenger explosion. I was 12 or 13 at the time. Came home from school for lunch and saw it on TV. Figured it was a movie.

Same thing with 9/11, which came many years later. Turned on the TV and saw one of the Twin Towers in flames. Figured it was special effects from some new film.

Those sorts of things are difficult to comprehend and accept. Easier to chalk it up as fantasy, but then reality sets in.
