I just joined this community last night, and I'm just curious about some of the people here. I'm only 19 years old, but I'm more interested in all things space than anyone I've ever met. Just out of curiosity, what are people's ages in this forum?

Sometime during 1968 I was ambling through
a pine stand near Kingsland, Georgia. I noticed something dangling from a low hanging branch. It was a rocket section with chute still attached. It was hanging there like fruit waiting for my tiny hands to grasp. An honest to god rocket! "woowoo!!!" I shrieked with boyish enthusiasm. I ran home and handed it over to my parents. It had officious instructions about returning it to "the proper governmental authorities" or some such boilerplate. My father gave it to someone he worked with and that was the last I heard of it. Never found out what its actual function was or what organization launched it. I was five at the time so I the whole episode left me feeling like I had discovered a secret cache of pirate gold |
