54 Years Ago Today

Eight months later,
I’d be workin’ my first satellite launch
from the launch complex now used by Falcon9s
in the post below.

(What? Hey, we’re both gettin’ up there in years)

    Fresh out of boot camp & class “A” school, watched this on the mess decks of the USS Vital, MSO-474 at our homeport of Panama City. (yeah I know) at dock at the Mine Defense Lab, later the Naval Research & Development lab.

    By the way, Doug, I’m sorry I didn’t find you back when Starship decided to successfully leave the launch pad despite being minus an engine or three. And I still cannot believe that thing held together while spinning about it’s axis.

      Yeah, quite the spectacle.
      Frankly, I’m impressed that it got off the pad at all.
      Eagerly awaiting the next episode
