re: How Awesome Was NASA Back In The Day?

My dad was an engineer at NASA on the Coast in MS in 69. He took me with him to watch them test fire a rocket engine when I was 5. We were a long distance away and the fire, smoke, and resulting ground shaking was something I will never forget.

A few weeks late Hurricane Camille came and we evacuated. When we came back seeing all the damage was also something I won't ever forget.

The Sixties Series on CNN tonight at 8:00 is about the 60s race into space.
