Anyway, I can't say that I was back that far. I missed like all the Apollo stuff, being born in early 75. The Apollo Soyuz test project was the only bit of the Apollo I was alive for, and unfortunately at 11 months old or 10 months old, I didn't get to get involved in any of that. But, one early morning in 1981 in April, my mom made sure that I was up early and I was sitting in front of the TV not watching my morning cartoons, which I was really upset about. She had me sitting in front of that TV to watch this weird looking spacecraft launch. Now I was kind of interested in space back then, but I got to watch Columbia launch for the very first time. And my mom told me that that was history in the making. Sorry, somebody decided to dynamite the breaks in front of me. Anyway, when my sister was a little girl, she was about two, or one and a half, when Apollo 11 landed. My mom made sure my sister got to watch that. So, I watched almost all the shuttle launches. If I couldn't be up for them, I would set the BCR to record them. And I was unfortunately sitting in the living room. My mom was going to drive me into school when Challenger launched for the last time. That still kind of gets to me, I'm not going to lie. Anyway, I'm going to reset again.
