Great memories Ed, thanks. Those were the days. It's great to think I probably have more computing power in my PC than existed in that entire room so long ago. That's real progress that NASA and space science has contributed to. |

Those were indeed the days, not that I was there, but this was the golden age of space travel. Another great image Ed, thanks for sharing. |
