Landing shit on Mars is pretty cool. Back when the first shuttle parked in my back yard... no joke.
I lived on Kelly Air Force Base for 4 years and my house was 2 block from the runway where I met President Ford's shook his hand coming off AF1, had the Space Shuttle parked in my back side yard for a few days.... seen T38's touch and go all the time and constant C5A fly over head as they landed or took off. Looked like you could throw a rock at them they were so low. Loved it!
I was fascinated at what I was seeing. Had no idea I was so fucking lucky to see what all I seen. I marked my house in red. The base is no longer a base.
