I had to watch "go at throttle up" on replay on the news in 1986 for the entire year, like almost every newscast

I was only a teenager and it burned into my brain badly

To this day cannot watch any launch with people onboard live

The event itself was a few years before my time, but after reading about it and eventually watching the historical news footage, the phrase "go at throttle up" also seared itself into my brain, and ever since I flinch when I hear it.
