Loved it when I could see the landings of the shuttles and hear the roaring of the engines.
A 'filk' song written by fans of space travel on the feeling of being there for a shuttle launch or landing.
You just know THIS song had to be played at some point.
I was living in Statesboro GA when one of the first night launches happened. Went outside, looked south, and there was the plume.
Also, Astronaut Sonny Carter was a friend of the family. He flew on Discovery.
I think my favorite memory of the Shuttle program would have to be last year with the docking at the ISS... Was outside with my kids and spotted the two overhead closing in on each other. Provided a great opportunity for educating the kids re: the space program and just amazing seeing these “stars” moving across the sky and knowing there were PEOPLE up there! :)
God bless all those who made the shuttle program possible.
More I could say, but keeping this positive!
BO now wants NASA to go to Mecca to help the muzzies with their self image and their rich cultural heritage in science and math. Well, at least the NASA director told Congress the President told him that! The WH denied it flat out (another lie)
I am onboard. My “favorite” moment was Leadpenny telling me to run outside and I could see the shuttle Columbia one cold feb morning. I walked out and it was right where he said it would be right when I walked out.
I was one of the last people to see Columbia
I’m watching.
