NASA/Space Junkies

Catfish · 01-03-2014, 12:00 AM

Seen more than a few launches. Day and night. The best launches to me were the winter-time late afternoon launches. Ground level was twilight - dark but the setting sun spotlighted the shuttle. I've seen quite a few SRB seps. naked eye. That was some cool shat.

Went to the old visitor center so many times it almost got boring. Almost. My 6th grade math teacher was one of the short-list people that got beat out by Christa McAulliffe to be the 1st teacher in space. One of my best friends' dad retired from NASA and worked on the Mercury / Gemini / Apollo and shuttle programs.

Hard to be a native Floridian and not be in touch with the space program.
