I was 5 when we landed on the moon, I remember watching it. I sent to nasa for books about space when I was about 7. I have watched the space program go from our most important national project to an afterthought. I watched the first shuttle launch. I watched Challenger explode.

I remember when you had to dial the phone and wait for the carrier signal, then slap it down on the teletypewriter and hope you logged in before the mainframe would hang up. Oh the grand evolutionary step up to the portable Silent 700 terminal. Same thing only 250 pounds lighter. Punch cards and paper tape were the shit.

Thats the way it was and we liked it!
