It was a wonderful life. I can't think of anything that an aeronautical engineer would get more out of, than what we were asked to do in the space program, in the '60s.
Project Mercury and putting the first man in space. Gemini was a great program because we learned how to operate, rendezvous, how to do E.V.A., how to use computers, how to use manned maneuvering units. And then of course flying to the moon was unbelievable.
