Except I was frosh in High School. I left class to take a message to the main office and I took the long way. Went past a classroom with a few friends that were older than me and everyone was standing around the TV. I knew the shuttle was going up but... They all motioned for me to come in and see(even the instructor). A moment burned in my brain. Maybe also be that as child I was on the launch pad 3 days before the 1st flight. Impressive sight(yes, I'm that old).
And I also saw the test flight of the 747 & Enterprise piggy-back glider landing.
I was so lucky.
'Nuff said
Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!
