I just returned from KSC for the Special event with Apollo 11 capsule communicator and space shuttle astronaut Bruce McCandless. His presentation was way above the level of technical comprehension of the audience, ahmmm, including myself. I asked Bruce privately to tell us what we really wanted to hear, which is - what are a couple juicy stories of what went on in The Mouse Trap? The Mouse Trap, for some who may not know, was THE watering hole in Cocoa Beach for the NASA crowd in the 1950s thru much of the eighties, as I recall, until it closed down.

Oh, I forgot to mention, his NASA handler overheard my request saying that this is a family oriented event. Bruce looked like he wanted to tell a tale or two but caved to the pencil neck.
