Hello friends,
before we continue with these miniatures, a nice story to relax.
A friend on the
ARC Forums pointed out to me that every time he listens to
"Countdown" by Rush, this project comes to mind.
And after watching the awesome video, it would go well with my introduction. While intended as a homage to
Columbia's legendary maiden flight (April 12, 1981), in that sense it would also fit as a
Tribute to Challenger's Maiden Flight - STS-6 (April 4, 1983).
I didn't know that the band were guests of
NASA for the launch at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and saw it from Red Sector A.
I was even more surprised when I saw my long slim friend
Scott "Shuttleman" Phillips jumping for joy in the video shortly after takeoff.
Great memories forever!
