Space shuttle Atlantis

Describe your most memorable vacation.

For me the most memorable holiday I’ve ever had was in Florida the date was 16th September 1996.

That was the date I was at KSC to see the launch of STS-79 the space shuttle Atlantis as it lifted off to dock with the Russian space station MIR.

A beautiful day and one of the most unbelievable sights you will ever observe when a mighty, rocket propelled machine fights to break free of the confines of earths gravity on the way to space.

I’ll never forget it, it was one of those moments that is etched in the memory for life.

A truly stunning sight, an unforgettable day.

Stay safe.
