#SpaceCoast The #Space Bar at Marriott Courtyard in Titusville ... The elevator is outside the lobby, so you don't have to enter the hotel operations. Outside the door is a welcome sign autographed by astronauts. Inside the elevator, you hear a "launch control" voice welcoming you to the Space Bar. The view is of #KSC Kennedy Space Center across the Indian River.

#StarTrek 31 years ago this week, I attended the performance of "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" by the TNG cast in Garden Grove CA.

Good evening from the #SpaceCoast of #Florida.

28 years ago ... I exposed a finance scheme in my home town, Irvine CA, that nearly brought down city leaders and the council majority.

The fun part was watching the city attorney scramble up into the seats to consult with their newly hired bankruptcy attorney. When I finished with my "smoking gun" presentation, he ordered the City Council members not to answer my questions. Unprecedented, before and since.

#NASA 56 years ago, a fire in the capsule took the lives of #Apollo1 astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.

These are the front pages of local newspapers the next day.
