In the Challenger speech? It was because of the Teacher in Space project. The Challenger crew had been joined by a school teacher called Christa McAucliffe who was going to broadcast lessons during the journey, which would be watched live by children in schools. As a result, many schoolchildren were watching the take-off live on TV and saw the disaster happen.
