The one nighttime launch of a Saturn V (quite a bit larger than a shuttle) was night turned into day. |

I can only imagine. I wish I could have seen one that close. To me they are the pinnacle of human accomplishments to this point. Whenever they launched, you can bet my eyes were on the eastern sky.

Yep, 2nd grade. Stayed home sick with my first flu. I was very confused about what had happened.

Shouldn't this have been posted in the Cabletech94's "Pick Me Up" thread?

I was 27. I was working on one of Ross Perots helicopters in Fort Worth Texas.

1986 I was 27 and two years out of grad school. Working in Radio and TV in Columbia, MO. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago, really.

It doesn't to me either. The older you get, the faster the years fly by.

Is this some sort of big news? That video quality sucked balls and showed nothing different from the news footage. (Although I still remember the official NASA commentator--the dude who does the countdown and then adds color commentary after that--with the understatement of the century, something like, "There seems to have been some sort of malfunction".)

I'm addicted that channel. And the series about the universe, stars, etc.
Just last weekend we saw two shows at the planetarium. One about the space race and one about the universe. Excellent. We visit the planetarium about ten times a yr |
