A quarter of a century ago I stood at the Public Affairs Press Site on Kennedy Space Center and waited for launch. I was worn out, exhausted and anxious. Press from all over the world wandered around. Folks tied up all of the phones as they scrambled to read their story back to their office. A few folks banged away on Radio Shack TRS-80's and plugged them into phones to send their reports in at a screaming 1200 baud rate. How cool. It was a clear, warm Florida morning.
Launch went on time and the Shuttle era was born.
