        I still remember the moment that the challenger failed...we were watching it live at work at our engineering firm....we were also doing design work at that time on SLC-6 at Vandenberg, right before they shut that job down.....

          Im bummed they will never launch from Vandenburg. Thanks to my Grandfather we can get VIP passes for any shuttle landing at Edwards, and have made good use of it too. But If there was ever a launch at Vandenburg, we have been told we could get VIP passes as well.
          Oh well, Landings are just as much fun.

            Landings are alot of fun....but nothing compares to the Launch and being there in person........

                I'm watching too. Always been a fan. I've seen Challenger land at ED, Atlantis on the pad at Ked, and Columbia in orbit (might have been Endeavor). I even saw Enterprise rotting outside before its new home.

                But, I dispute NASA that the Shuttle is the most complex machine ever built. I still say the mighty Saturn V was more complex. Take the Saturn Vs for Apollo 15, 16 and 17 as an example. As it sat before launch, it had the means to escape earth's gravity, the means to travel to and land on the moon, the means to travel on the moon's surface, the means to escape the moon's gravity, a separate module that orbited the moon, and the means to travel back to earth and reentered the atmosphere, safely returning it's occupants. That's a complex mission especially in the time of slide rulers and smart Germans.

                Never seen a launch.... damn. Maybe Orion if that ever happens. I hope it does.

                Saw the whole Earth to Moon back when it first was on HBO, like 10 years ago. Great stuff. Still amazed at the attitude and results of Apollo 13. Greatest NASA moment without a doubt.

                    Not too much that I envy. But that, I envy!

                          I watched Fox with daughter #1 and had the laptop going for daughter #2 who was getting a bath (by mom). So, i got my whole family in on the shuttle actions.

                          Man every time I get a little misty watching that thing go.
