[QUOTE]Originally posted by thelastguardian: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [qb] I am really envious of you, Shane. I was born in '74 (the day after Nixon was pardoned, actually), and one of my biggest regrets is that I missed the entirety of Project: Gemini. For my little pocket universe, I have three docks at the San Francisco yards building [i]Constitution[/i]s and [i]Enterprise[/i]s, and at the time the Federation Council and Starfleet Command were trying to figure out which ship to re-name [i]Enteprise[/i] for a present to Kirk, the three newbuilds were considered, those being the [i]Levant[/i], [i]Atlantis[/i], and [i]Ti-Ho[/i]. In the end, however, the Admiralty got their way, and Kirk's new ship was the ageing, refit [i]Yorktown[/i]. --Jonah [/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks, Jonah...I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Yes, the days of Gemini and Apollo were something to behold. Walking in space for the first time, leaving the Earth for the first time, wow. Imagine launching a mission to the moon every two months or so -- the breakneck pace was breathtaking. What an exciting time to be alive. There are some outstanding 'as it happened' DVD sets available from [URL=http://www.spacecraftfilms.com]www.spacecraftfilms.com[/URL] -- give them a look. I own a few of their amazing sets, and they do a nice job of recapturing the awe and adventure of the NASA of the 60s and 70s. Shane [/QB][/QUOTE]
