Something that puzzles me is that it is never mentioned that additional foam/debris could have struck the shuttle at a later time and higher altitude which couldn't be easily observed from the ground. Perhaps the observed event at 80 seconds after liftoff was just the prelude more significant debris events at 120 or 160 seconds after liftoff. Does anyone know how far or how long the shuttle can be observed into it's flight over the Atlantic?
I was born in '65 and I remember reading articles in the late 80's calling those of us born between 1960 and 1965 the "Baby Buster" generation. There are significantly fewer of us than the generations before and after.
This kind of made sense to me because all through my grade school and junior high years schools were being closed for lack of kids. The remaining schools would then swell with new students just a few years later.
