Very interesting post. As I’m a little older than you I remember from day one, all the launches. From the first Mercury through Gemini then came the Apollo and finally the shuttle launch’s.
I watched every single one. To this day I have memorabilia from the early days. I was in aviation so had the great opportunity to actually meet some of my boyhood hero’s over the years.
It’s just so unfortunate we had to lose so many great men and women in our quest for space.
The story not so often told is the hundreds of men and women lost in the quest to make aviation what it is today. All the test pilots that never came back.
