That's neat stuff, guys! Closest I ever got to the moon was one Saturday
night in 1961 on the main drag in Owego NY. The moon was out the rear window
of my buddy's '38 Plymouth. ;-)
In 62 and 63 I worked summers at IBM Space Guidance Labs in Owego. That
facility built all the Apollo guidance stuff but I never saw any of it. My
Dad worked there too and did operations analysis on their military hardware
including the Titan IIIc missile and the XB-70 so I guess he might have been
termed a "rocket scientist".
I'm pretty good with bottle rockets. Does that count?
Cheers!!
