2:11Space Shuttle Almanac @ShuttleAlmanacFinally converted my sound recording of the launch of STS-1 on April 12, 1981. Has been on an old cassette since then, now its an MP3. Listen to the launch from the NASA Causeway and moments later the delayed soundwave that felt like being pelted by heavy rain. pic.twitter.com/A0Hij1U7ED2 replies 3 retweets 7 likes -

Pretty cool! By original what do you mean, did you record it yourself?

I did record it myself. I was 16. Invited to the launch by the pilot Bob Crippen.

Our twitter page supports our book http://SpaceShuttleAlmanac.com on the subject of the Space Shuttle. Someone needs to do one for Ariane and it’s unique history.

Well some websites do exist in French and we have a Legacy section on our own website, but we're always happy when fans collect data, stories and content.
