<VV> Ultimate rear engine?

[Bill Hubbell]

My son, Geoff,  and I were privileged to be among the hundreds of people named Hubbell/Hubble to be the guests of NASA at the launch of the Hubble Telescope in 1989.  We were only 5 miles away from the launch. It was quite impressive. I would encourage all who can manage to go view a shuttle launch while you still can.

I have a neighborhood friend that is planning on making one of the last
shuttle launches ... he might give up a Hawaii vacation to get there. If
he's crazy enough to do that, just to be able to say he watched a shuttle
launch, then I'm crazy enough to go with him.
