1st Ever SPACE SHUTTLE Landing - I was there for this one [View all]

By a colossal mistake, I turned right when I should have turned left.

Instead of watching this historic flight with the rest of the contractors, I was seated in the VIP section in Mission Control, surrounded by military brass and the families of the astronauts.



If I had to do it over, I'd screw up just the same.
