Just watched replay of the splashdown. Very cool. As a kid I used to watch the apollo launches, then space shuttle, etc. Wonderful time to be young and see history. Now as an older man I'm watching history again.
If anyone has an opportunity to visit Smithsonian Air & Space in DC or the Udvar-Hazy Center in VA to view history of space flight, do this. My son and I did this years ago, met with some 24hcf members in downtown dc, lunched at the Old Ebbitt Grill. Very very cool. 7x57 Steve, Pugs, Isaac, that lawyer who doesn't post here anymore, and a buddy of his (I figure he was bodyguard for Isaac).
I offer a "Thank You" to RockyRabb for posting these links and starting these threads on the 24HCF. Also a Thank You to Rick Binn for hosting us.
