I think I've said before that my uncle worked as a subcontractor for NASA (through PanAm), and designed the original gantry, which is the elevator that the astronauts take to get into the actual capsule). So, I've been interested in the lift offs since I was little.

I am just shocked that they were still alive after the explosion!
