Wow. I did not know that

Only reason I know is from our DIL. She did intern work with them when she was working on her master's at UT. She is in the control room at Huntsville. Really proud of her.

Rocket launches are the one thing I will miss about living there. My house is 10 miles from 39A. Other than that I can't wait to get back to God's country

Seeing a nighttime launch of one of the larger rockets is hard to describe. I was at the last night time shuttle launch and seeing the sky light up and the jet of fire, followed by the sound and rumble 5 or 6 seconds later, is a remarkable thing.
