Well, we're almost there...I personally thought it would have have been pretty cool to have the Shuttle launch today, but alas it was not meant to be. I also thought it would have been cool to go out and launch a few, commemoratively, of course, but Mother Nature will not cooperate, what with 15 mph winds out of the east. Nevertheless, I'll bet that that the events of 35 years ago, transpiring before our eyes on the TV screen, launched more than one or two of our imaginations into the hobby that brings us all together today through the medium of this and other online forums. Personally, for me it was the Gemini missions, what with Ed White's space walk and all. Maybe for the 40th anniversary, a National scale event could be planned...
