Found Negatives from 1996

I found a whole grip of negatives of photos I shot as a teenager. It was this weird camera that shot wide on 35mm. The exposures are a bonkers 14x37mm. The following photos are not cropped. Lots of knicks and creases in the negatives. The lens wasn't great and there was no shutter speed control.

I recall feeling rather under-dressed.

All Up

R1 on Alameda NAS

We ran all five engines today in a static fire test!

Success!

And, the flight computer ran the show. Six months of incredibly hard, hard work. I didn't even start writing the flight computer code until December (Jeri had to rework the hardware).

I thought these things were supposed to be robust.

It is properly cold and windy. I might be low on sleep too. But success!
