Gemini space program - RF Cafe Forums
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views. It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if you would like to post something on RF Cafe's Facebook page, please do.

Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts.

Kirt, I loved your factoid on the trips to the areospace labs at UM. I was a student there in the 1970s - about the time you were roaming. Now I have someone to blame my less-than-successful lab assignments on ;-). It really brought back memories.

I've worked for NASA as an electrical engineer for almost 30 years now, mostly at Langley. You would have loved working here. It's like a kid in a candy shop. We've had upand down times, but overall a really great career. My bad back will force me to take early retirement. It's great to have a site like RF Cafe to visit on a daily basis for a perfect mix of technical content and humor/personal interest. I can really relate to all the Estes rockets you flew way back when.

Well, buddy, take care, and keep up the great work! Maybe we'll meet af a flying event some day - I'll look for an RF Cafe T-shirt!
