wow, an era is closing!
In the first mission, STS 1 Columbia, I was just a boy, and with my brother and my father were fishing in the river. We had the radio to hear the news live!

It was April 12, 1981 ...

Hah!
Back in 1957, my parents saved a kid from another street from annihilation by calling in my older brother and myself to listen to the Sputnik on the radio, sorry, it was a wireless in them days. The brat had been trying to set fire to our street's Guy Fawkes bonfire. The two younger brothers had been allowed to stay up late to listen. All of us pre-date the Space Age. My daughter was the first grandchild, and she was born more than two years after the Moon landing. Now the Shuttle is being retired....Eheu fugaces, and a few other Latin things I no longer remember

What's the chance of being in the right place at the right time on the right side (the left) and able to film it
