It's funny that I have more technology in my ford focus then they had in the rockets that sent them to the moon.

Kind of sad how most people, myself included, can name more Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo astronauts than we can Space Shuttle astronauts.

6 astronauts flew in Mercury
16 astronauts flew in Gemini
32 astronauts flew in Apollo
355 astronauts flew in the Space Shuttles

I couldn't remember 355 names if I had to.

I've met two of them (Armstrong and Cernan). Pretty great guys who both took the time to talk with me, though I doubt either of them would remember.

I also had the honor of meeting Martha Chaffee. She's a class act, and an advocate for the space program to this day.

IMHO the Saturn V rocket was and still is one of the most incredible marvels of human engineering. Anything that could develop that kind of power and hang together is a testament to the folks who developed it . . .
Just brew it...
