Pretty cool. Never saw it on the other side of the US. I used to live real close to the cape back home.

My Grandpa was a welder for NASA for a long time. He welded on everything from the shuttle, to the launchpad. Sadly he never taught me to weld. I never had an interest in welding till recently.

first of all you have to know someone that is the biggest thing....and i work at the NASA at Edwards AFB so im government...i started out with a lame job (job coaching janitors)and then started meeting people and got this job....and i dont know much info about that nasa but if your a mechanical engineer then you can go where ever you want man...if you lived out here i could get you a job all day everyday cuz its such a high demand job out here...all i can tell you is once you get ur degree go and talk to a human resources people over there and your in


Best of luck man and you will really like nasa im sure of it

dang, nice pix... i wanna experience to see a take off once in my life...
do they invite the public to watch it or is it closed doors?
and is it really loud when taking off?

 

[tviera]

My pics were from over about a hundred miles away. No sound, but the you can't help to be proud when you watch it.

i dont know about the nasa out there but here if you can get on the base you can see it land...and as for it being loud i sure it is...all day long i get to hear f16,18,22 take off and break the speed of sound and they will still make me jump cuz its sssssooooooooo loud .....once a month they will take plane right behind my building and do 80% throttle ups and that is so loud you cant anything other then that

dude i know what you mean everyday i go home knowing that in some way im helping out the space shuttle and other things(sssh)(thats all i can say or else i would have to kill you) and im proud of it every single day
