One question they asked me was about the fact that we haven't been back to the moon for 50 years. I answered that the significant thing is not that we haven't gone back, it's that no other nation has been able to go at all. The only footprints there are ours. Well, socialism really hasn't been implemented properly

This deserved its own thread !
Pugs posted it in another thread and I was surprised it just got buried.
I thought he was hella cool before this 🤷🏻♂️ But I’d love to hear his stories.
Shrap it’s ok, someday those folks are gonna find out who was with Rocky and despair they didn’t get your autograph too 😂
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

They were quite impressed but not affected whatsoever at my presence, and that still stings a bit... That's OK, one day those folks will feel the same way that shop keeper felt after he found out it really was JM Browning he kick out of his store............

Now I get your earlier reference to Patrick AFB. Dad was stationed there '65-'70 and south Brevard was my hometown for quite a few years.

Holy Crap Rocky, I've always been fascinated by your posts. Being a space and aviation junkie myself, I read every one of them, but I didn't realize you were in so deep. That's just awesome!
Nearsightedness and being mathematically retarded kept me from making aviation a career. I've alway wanted to be a part of it. You all are heros to me.

Guy's, I've met Rocky on a few occasions. He's the real deal. Vast shooting, reloading and fishing knowledge. He has published many articles, and written two books.
When you're with him, he listens to you like a priest at confession. Just a pleasure to be around. I'm glad that I can call him my "friend".
So, as Paul Harvey would say, "Now you know the rest of the story".
Hat's off to you Rocky. And next time, it's my turn to buy !

I thought this was common knowledge on the fire, from past posts and all. I’ve watched many old launches just to catch Rocky’s countdown. There’s a reason why he always posts a heads up about all the current launches. Pretty cool stuff from a pretty cool guy!

I have met Rocky, and He is the real deal. Read His books, you will not be disappointed. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Outstanding Rocky,
My son still keeps your signed books in his "favorites" collection.
