It's about bucket lists and a yearn to see the Space Shuttle fly
before it's too late. It's about growing up terrified in a roiling
Cold War. It's about chasing Sputnik down with boyhood rockets.
It's about disheveled students, the ones with two pocket protectors
and zero girlfriends; the amateur radio freaks; the wild-eyed
neighborhood rocket launchers. We would call them "nerds" today,
but in the 1950s, they wore the label "introverts." It was handled
as a disease; a condition to be corrected. They were an uncounted,
unnoticed generation; their diverse curiosities calling them to
self-educate for a challenge yet undefined. But they were
disorganized, rudderless; a solution in search of a problem. So
when John Kennedy made his call, they were ready. I have been
watching the incredible NASA show for near a lifetime, now ... an
epic saga extracted from dreams, bolstered by bravery, tempered
with tears. In my overactive mind, I have erected a rickety
structure of opinions about all of this. Read about them here ...
And then, together, we'll watch the The Last Rocket Show. Includes
dozens of author photos and two original videos]
