How things have changed

I watched Endeavour's final flight at the breakfast table, linked to NASA's webpage on my laptop through the home wireless network.

Years ago, I watched Apollo 17 take off from the moon. On a black and white TV set, with my brother on the roof with a broomstick turning the antenna to get the best picture.

At this rate, the next time NASA has a new launch vehicle, I'll be watching in 3D HD on my phone with surround sound.
