I used to be on the rescue birds for support of the shuttle if it went wrong believe it or not. There is a emergency escape shoot they could get out. Like as the astronauts said slim chance. Pretty cool seeing it launch from around a mile away and in the air. loved those trips VIP all the way and they never ever launched on time. Hey, I will take a week in Coco Beach, FL in the winter, in a Hilton and 150 a day periderm. Screw July and August!
