I’ve seen several of the shuttles go up now, and It will definitely rattle your teeth.
I’ve delivered loads of fuel out there to Cape Canaveral.
I saved all the badges you have to get from security to get out there to deliver the fuel.
Gave them to my kids when they were growing up,
they got a big kick out of it.
One time a maintenance man out there gave me this giant O Ring I took it home and told the kids it was a O ring from the space shuttle. HE! HE! HE!
I don’t know what it really was, but it was about 10 feet
around. Wish I would have had a camera on them that day, lots of oows and ozzs.
One time I had a trainee with me and we were delivering out there and he had fallen asleep.
When we got on the base I pulled in the a store parking lot and listened to the radio.
About 2 minutes to launch time I shut off the radio woke him up and said I think we have a leak.
I then told him we had to get on top of the tank and look for leaks, so up we went.
When that thing took off this guys face just lit up, he had just moved down from New York and had never seen one take off. That’s all he talked about for the next two weeks. HE! HE! HE! A young guy taking his girl to see that just might get lucky, because everyone get’s excited.
Just a tip for you young guy’s. HE! HE! HE! Kurt
