Btw,I actually got to work with the SPACE SHUTTLE program while temping in the media relations department @ AT&T executive HQ. My temporary boss was in charge of the phone service where you could call a phone # and listen to the astronauts. We watched a take-off in his office and it was really fun!
Once we made a phone call to mission control with some friends to volunteer for a mission when they were recruiting civilians. We spoke to a guy named "ROCKY",he was really nice and explained that they were looking for a teacher for the first civilian in space, then he told us that he was one of the few people who do the actual "countdown" ,we asked him to demonstrate a countdown and he did!-lucky thing that we did not get on board that flight-The CHALLENGER.
Two years later I watched it live on CNN that morning and it hit me like a ton of bricks
