Another fun and interesting video! My folks lived next-door to Gordon Cooper back in the 70's /80's. In 1963 he piloted "Faith 7" (solo). He had to manually control the spacecraft on reentry after all of the automatic controls failed! A very humble and down to earth gentleman was

I've known a few space cadets in my time. None of them left the ground. Another fabulous video, Jeff.

What a delightful video! I had no idea there was a space center in Alabama. You even found a way to include a grave in the adventure. Thanks for taking us along on your journey! 🚀🌟

Wow. Living next door to Vandenberg Space Force Base, I've experienced all manner of rocket launches, a variety of military aircraft, and it never gets old. One launch last night was overcast, but the rumble was very satisfactory! I loved that you captured so much of the magic of space exploration, and I appreciated the sentiments, and the music this morning! My daughter knows how much I love the drama and awe, so when she and my son-in-law visited the Kennedy museum, she sent me a bunch of materials. Made me envious!

Thank you Jeff for posting this and happy to hear and see that you got to meet John Glenn I know what a thrill that is. I was learning to fly small planes at Albert Whitted Airport and I started at 14, Around that time I was always hanging out at that airport and one day a twin engine plane landed an about 5 men got out and came into the FBO and one of those men was 
Werner Von Braun and he was about 5 feet away from me at that FBO. Many years later in 1976 Frank Borman pinned on my gold wings when I was a new flight attendant and I flew from 1976 to 1989 based in SJU & MIA. I had Frank on several flights and sometimes he would go into the cockpit and somehow get the captain to vacate his seat so he could get some time at the controls. When I went to the cockpit he would have the biggest grin of happiness, this happened on a 727-200 and an L-1011. Before that I was a skycap at FLL while waiting for the F/A training school to re-open and 1 day, I was loading bags on a cart and Frank was passing thru and just started helping me get more bags on the cart. Frank Borman was an awesome guy once you got to know him.

Thank you Jeff, for a very great video; and really enjoyed the tour of that beautiful museum. I hope one day I'll be able to go visit that and see all those interesting Rockets they have there. If you are ever in Kansas, Jeff you need to go to Hutchinson Kansas because they have the Apollo 13 rocket . It is a very interesting rocket and it can be seen at the Hutchinson Kansas Museum. They also have one large replica of a shuttle spaceship in the building there, so you would enjoy that. Again, thank you so much for sharing .

Thank you jeff! Awesome video! Whenever I step on my bathroom scale, instead of telling me my weight, it says, “One person at a time please!”

[melindagordonbeck]

Great video Jeff! We love that place! I believe the Challenger accident was January 1986, I say this because my oldest son was only 6 months old at the time. Love your videos! Keep up the great work! Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans! ♥️
