In 1984 I was installing a telephone office serving the Vehicle Assembly Building and Shuttle Processing facility at KSC and was afforded the opportunity of going to one of the VIP viewing areas, a great honor for a worker bee. August 30, 1984 @8:41 EDT Discovery launched with the payload of Satellite Business Systems Syncom IV-2 and Solar Wing Telstar.

Nikon F2, 500mm Catadioptric lens on Ektachrome.
