<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 254219, member: 29&quot;]Oh, you have to know that when I was growing up, no pop star posters on the wall for me. Instead, Moonrise as taken by Apollo 8. When 13 was in dire straits, I carried a large portable radio round with me for days, glued to the BBC comentary, and wept when the command module came out of radio silence, and we realised the heat shield had held. Spent my first wages on a Portmeirion Apollo 11 mug which I still own. First thing my OH ever gave me was a model Saturn V. I&#039;ve a friend who is a Real Rocket Scientist who got me a tour round the ISS simulator. When Enterprise visited the UK, I stood on Westminster Bridge watching as the Shuttle carrier 747 flew her down the Thames. At 8, I was borrowing astronomy and spaceflight books from the adult library. And one of my most treasured things is a prop from NCC 1701-D. I learned to read through pulp fiction and Superman comics. In one of my offices, I had a giant inflatable space shuttle hanging from the ceiling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
