LOL, thats OK man-I miss things all the time.
I was actually planning on posting a big thing on the 12th about the Vostok 1 flight on 4/12/1961 and the STS-1 flight on 4/12/1981 but Ozzy beat me to it and mentioned the Russian Vostok 1 mission which put the first man in space. So, I just added the shuttle to that.

Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2006 3:30 pmI used to work for NASA at Edwards. The first time I saw a shuttle, I was awestruck. You end up getting used to it. The only shuttle I was allowed to get close to was Enterprise. I litteraly stood underneath it's wings. Been in the Shuttle 747. Pretty cool experience.
I was only at NASA for 6 months becuase it was an internship through the school I was attending. My wife decided she hated living in the desert, so that was the end of my NASA career, but I'm never forget those 6 months.
