Re: 47 years in space for the US
Happy Birthday! It just means I'm still older than you but thats ok.
I too grew up watching the space race but I watched it from my backyard. My dad was an engineer for every launch from the first Geminis to the middle of the shuttle program. I was 12 or 13 before I realized that everyone didn't see rockets go off from the beach. Most everyone I knew was connected to Cape Kennedy in one way or another. We were never in school to watch, most of the east coast of Florida took the day off on launch days, went to the beach and cooked out so we could watch. The ground would rumble and the sound wave would knock you back a bit when the mighty Apollos took off. I miss it. The shuttles are pretty but its not the same. Ahhh memories.
