I’m up and watching. I remember back in the early 60s, Mom and Dad would have us go to school late in order to watch the take-offs and splash downs of the early flights. They said that history was being made and it was just as important as school.

May God have mercy on our country.

I remember vividly watching most of if not every launch, the failures, the landings and the end of the space race.

And when I went to the Cape and walked under a Saturn 5 and then saw all the equipment they had mostly built by slide rulers its just totally and almost unbelievable.
