<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 34732, member: 44&quot;]&gt;To have seen his launches was to see the world changing. That&#039;s epic stuff.&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>It certain was. Listening to the first radios and seeing those rocket tests were right up there with landing on the moon for us. It was thrilling and out of this world stuff. My mother (1912-2003) used to marvel about advances she witnessed in her lifetime: radio, television, computers; phone in every pocket; flight advances; etc... Then she told how her mother (1880-1960) used to say the same thing about her life for she had lived from the horse and buggy days to the automobile, from kerosene lamps to electricity, from the first airplanes to sputnik, first telephones, the many kitchen inventions, etc... Today we are blasé about it all.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
