Thanks for the video. I saw the rocket from Ventura 530 pm PST or so today. Wondered what it was. Thanks.

Nothing beats the Space Shuttle and its 245 missions. Designed in Downey and fired up in Chatsworth in the 1970’s. I know because my family was involved big time: wing designs, pilot training and sales promotions. Space Shuttle. Still the best machine... ever.

Late to the thread here, but this makes me nostalgic; VAFB 1984-2005. Best job I ever had.

Except for killing two crews, costing far too much, only being good for low-earth orbit, and generally side-tracking human space exploration for four decades, it was great.
