I wish I could still say the same, Chris. As I have gotten older, more and more of the weight has drifted down to my waistline.

Thanks for that interesting bit of history, Jim.  It looks like you’re the only

This image shows a small part of the Wind Tunnel 16T Control Room during a test 
of space capsule recovery systems in the late 1950s.  All of the controls and 
instrumentation were still analog.  The left panel contained the controls for 
the flexible nozzle that could cover the range from Mach 0.5 to 1.6.  The right 
panel controlled the compressor system.  I'm the Project Engineer, adjusting 
the TV system.  I even had hair in those days.  Note the Speed Graphic and bag 
of film holders above my head.  The gentleman in the foreground was the General 
Electric engineer on this test.
