In 1981 I lived in Florida and the Space Shuttle Program was about to launch the first test of their new system. My father subscribed to the local newspaper, The St. Petersburg Times. He started pulling out newspaper clippings. At first I collected them in a box but then had the idea to put them in a scrapbook. My scrapbook consisted of construction paper and a 3-ring binder. Each day as the clippings came, I would glue them onto the construction paper page. Later I would add dividers for the launches with stickers for their mission patches. Now forty years later, I thought I would try to preserve those clippings as blog posts.
