Since some losers (Donny Long and Sean Tompkins) have called that time into my life in question I thought it would actually be fun to do an AMA because I DO get asked about it a lot so if there is anything you ever wanted to know ask away.

A few thngs to bear in mind, At Launch Complex 39 at KSC there were over 15,000 people working there at the time, the odds that I knew any particular one of them (or that they knew me) are very low/ Everyone there worked for NASA even though the vast majority, myself included worked for subcontractors, like MacDoug, Lockheed, Teledyne Brown, Boeing and about a few hundred others. I did have a high level security clearance but in the scheme of those clearances the highest levels at KSC/Canaveral wouldn't get you into the parking lot in McClean or Fairfax. Everything about the space program was paid for with taxpayer dollars and was purposefully not classified, the exception and the reason for clearances was Dept of Defense missions, payloads and info on launch times etc.

So ask away should be fun, if all you want to do is throw shit there are plenty other threads for that....
