At the Satellite Test Center in Sunnyvale, CA, when the telemetry stream was lost. The STC was later named Onizuka AFS in honor of Ellison Onizuka who was aboard the flight.

I was in class at the uber-conservative Baptist school I attended and a teacher popped in at told us oh thought you should know the space shuttle blew up. Then they had us carry on as if she had told us the vending machine was out of Sprite.

Wonder how that school handled 9/11?
