re: “I have a win7 box too that’s a dog. Horrible.”

Have a Win 7 box here too, use it for running a couple specific engineering apps that run better in a 64 bit environment and more memory ... the look and feel sucks compared to Xp though - everything is there, but in a different place!!

I use Windows Remote Desktop to “DECnet” into it from the Xp box which has a monitor ..

COOL!!! I was 8 and We had just moved to Houston from NJ. Watched the Launch at Home on B&W TV, went to Neighbors to see Landing on Color TV.

I build a model of the Saturn V Rocket complete with detachable LM, the whole thing was over 4’ tall. Mom made Me put it in the trunk for the ride Home because I had a habit of opening models in the car and losing parts. It took forever to get Home that day.

We made many trips to NASA and I was like a Kid in a Candy Store.

I found a signed copy of Gene Kranz’s book ‘Failure is Not an Option’ in a thrift store a few years ago.

What a find! Kinda sad that it was there in the first place though.

The whole space race and especially Apollo 11 is America at our finest.

American excellence and exceptionalism defined.

......just 5.288461538461538 years of watching at the rate of a 40 hour work week I think. Not including commercials and bathroom breaks of course.

This may possibly be the best Post EVER on FR.

The only others that come to mind are Bush showing up for T-Day in Bagdad with the Troops and the Shuttles Challenger and Columbia.

I’m going to burn all My high speed data this month.

I lived in Central Florida (Orlando) during the Apollo flights. With the Saturn I launches we could see the rocket visually from 50 miles away. I would watch the launch on TV and then run outside to get the real view as the rocket cleared the horizon. It was amazing.

When NASA started launching the Saturn V not only could you see the rocket but you could hear it. Wow 50 miles away and you could hear those powerful engines, what an experience!

WOW !!! That would have been awesome to see!!!

I’ve always been amazed at the camera shots of the Hold downs releasing and the Fireballs and the Nozzle vibrations in slow motion. I know that they use the H2O bath for helping cool things down but it’s amazing that the platform doesn’t melt.

You have FRMail.

Yep, very impressive. My wife saw a launch at the Cape. I can only imagine being just a few miles away from the launch pad.

[Cycle the Parker valve.]

Oops, I just Parked the Cycle valve. I misunderstood.

We drive on parkways and park on driveways!

The first words back from the surface of the Moon. Cycling the Parker valve shut off the Lunar Lander’s engine. That was how Houston knew they had landed, even before they heard “Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed...”

I had a day off today to get some things done around the house. I went to this site this morning after my wife left for work. She got home nine hours later and I was still in my bathrobe, still drinking coffee, and all my chores still waiting for me! This is the best website in history! 👍👍👍👍

They’ve air-brushed the other turtles that hold him up a whole lot better.
