1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,740
What happened during the first STS-1 is

2
00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:06,380
Everyone know we had launched and were in space

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,620
We know right away the landing site was Edwards

4
00:00:09,620 --> 00:00:11,320
and there was not question in their mind

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,380
and the interest that was generated

6
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:15,140
especially in the Antelope Valley.

7
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:17,500
You have to remember that the Antelope Valley,

8
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:20,380
the main occupation for many people was working

9
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:23,120
for the Department of Defense or other activities

10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,720
They were uniquely proud of the Shuttle Program.

11
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:29,060
Probably one of the highlights of my career

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,660
was escorting all of the Shuttle vehicles
