"It is one of the most amazing sites that I have ever witnessed in all of my 51 years to see that thing launch and go up," he says. "And then the next thing, eight minutes later, you see this thing come streaking down." The engines light up again and it settles down on what they call landing zone one over in the Cape side. But seeing him land here every time he sticks one, it's he saved $60 million for the next person if they want to fly that. And Jet Bezos, his name is his rockets after astronauts. He calls the new Glenn, the new shepherd. These are a snazest name of his rockets!"
On the eve of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon launch/landing, I invite you to come hear my rocket scientist father (G.A. "Jim" Ogle) re-tell his experience on User Defenders: Community (https://community.userdefenders.com) of the events that took place the day of the launch on July 16, 1969, leading into the unforgettable and awe-inspiring day of July 20, 1969 when the U.S. achieved the unimaginable feat of landing the first humans on the moon. He will also answer your questions live!
