Tribute to a
Fallen Hero: The December 2004 PassageMaker Magazine published an excellent 7 1/2 page article on the Launch 5 story written by Sally Bee Brown. This article is a great "one stop shop" for the history of Launch 5 and her crews (past and present) in excellent narrative form. Posted here with permission from PassageMaker, all you have to do is click on the picture to the right and have a read! We are honored to have been featured in such a prestigious international publication. |
