Wed Feb 12th - Kennedy Space Center - Then and Now

You know that “thing” when people recreate a family photo from many years ago with everyone in the same pose? Is there a term for it? 

Anyway, we were at Kennedy Space Center today. Last time we were there was 38 years ago.




These before photos were taken in 1982, when Bob and I were at the Kennedy Space Center for the 3rd shuttle launch. Back in the day, Bob's job was arranging for GTE communications satellites to be launched, and NASA was kind enough to give us 2 VIP tickets to the launch. 

This was the launch, of the Columbia 

BTW - Here are the before and after photos from today: 


For the record, we weren't the last to leave, and we left before they kicked us out

@Eli Lansey. No way. We are too old to stay up that late.

are the rockets getting taller - or are you getting shorter?
