    I had Alan B. Shepard Jr's autograph hanging on my wall.

    When I moved out of my mother's house, my sister took my room and trashed the autograph.

      Easily in the Top 5 coolest fucking things my dad ever did:

      He was down in Florida, walking around, viewing the Rocket Garden at Cape Canaveral. It wasn't too crowded, just some tourists, but he saw this one guy looking up at the Mercury rocket. Just by himself, staring at it.

      He walked up behind him and said, "that was your ride, wasn't it."

      Dude was Alan B.

      Afterwards they got a photo together that my dad still has on his bookshelf.

          This was way before Trump, so at the time that was not allowed.

            Is she still alive? THere's no statute of limitations on trashing an Alan Shepard autograph.

                In New Zealand.

                Her son visited here last week, I guess I missed an opportunity.

                Kiwis seem to take vacations weeks and months at a time.

                  Thanks, I've had a little vino tonight, but I'm trying to recall some of the interesting facts. First that Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), the first pic... the stripes of the American flag are 8 feet wide, you can drive the tour bus up each stripe. It's the biggest american flag on the planet, you can fit Yankee Stadium on top, plus room for parking, it's the biggest one-story building in the world... and so on.

                  Here's a better video about how it works, great animation, too.

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
