Message-ID: <1524@nunki.usc.edu> Date: 3 Oct 88 07:10:41 GMT References: <781@hadron.UUCP> Sender: news@nunki.usc.edu Reply-To: calexand@castor.usc.edu (Craig Alexander) Organization: University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA Lines: 16 After seeing numerous launches on television, I must say that there is nothing quite like seeing the shuttle go up in person. The 1/2 hour of sleep, the three hour-5:00 A.M traffic jam at the Cape, the launch delays, not to mention the dripping Florida heat were all compensated by five minutes of ecstacy (WOW!!!!!!!!). On a side note, I saw some people I didn't quite expect including John Travolta and the guy from Night Rider (David Hasselhoff??). Its funny, nobody seemed to pay much attention to them, Discovery stole the show (as it should be). If you have the means, I highly recommend, you take the trip. .....THE DREAM IS ALIVE ........
