Seems to me the SPACE X corp is launching birds, the Falcon 9 is successful, is competitive with the Atlas IV, and Space X recently anounced the Falcon Heavy, which uses 9 Falcon 9 cores, if I have this correct….   Read more»

Your not counting private enterprise in though Warren. I think we will see space flights from the private sector in the coming years but the big stuff will still be left up to NASA. I think like Joe said, there…   Read more»

My parents were saints – they drove 20+ hours down to Florida with no hotel reservations to be had so a 9 year old kid could watch Apollo 11 liftoff (from the parking lot of a shopping center in Titusville)…   Read more»

Dave,I agree with you on all of that. I grew up in Houston and flew rockets at the MSC off of NASA Rd. 1 near Clear Lake City. That is where we held NARAM 14 back in 1970. I was…   Read more»

that’s a great reflection that you are sharing, Art. I grew up 20 miles down range from the pads. My dad worked for 35 years for Lockheed on the Polaris/Poseidon/Trident Programs. Nevertheless, what I learned as a kid that there…   Read more»

Time for a critical mindset change. I’m excited to see what happens next. The adventure continues…..Great website, BTW. There will be more tears of joy and sorrow in the coming months but I am confident that the Human pressence on…   Read more»

Wow, that’s amazing! Love playing with the camera positions and the auto-rotate. Yup, I could fly one of those!

35k is a lot of air. I never thought I’d need 20k :)Edward

We’ve been asking for 50K for a number of years. 35K was their compromise and we’re lucky to have it given our location in the DIA approach.

Glad to hear it was found, and in perfect condition too :D(Steve’s right – the visibility was fantastic that day. I can’t believe I kept sight of it all the way up to 25k and back)

I was standing next to Chris as we saw it descend. Visibility was fantastic that day. Better today!!Thanks to your recon assist!Great to see it was found!Steve J.

Yeah, I still have your rocket. It is setting in my office. Not sure if it is in good enough shape to rebuild. The CTI Case and spent motor are still in it.I was kind of on the fence about…   Read more»

I lost that rocket at Mile High Mayhem. I had just assumed that I had lost that motor case for good, and then someone recommended that I check the forums here. If you still have the motor casing and you…   Read more»
