Eager Ulysses Space was born in the early months of 1964, and his first words were "I want to be an astronaut or maybe someday run an eclectic spaceflight youtube channel". His parents were deeply disturbed by this...
Eager remembers watching Neal Armstrong's first walk on the moon and listened repeatedly to a short record (ask your parents) on their hifi (ditto) of the Eagle landing on the moon for Apollo 11, a very thin record that came with an issue of National Geographic on the historic landing.
Eager paid lots of attention to Apollo and watched shuttle launches off and on when he could get NASA TV to watch it.
Eager has been to one launch intentionally - either STS-133 or STS-134 with offspring who got to skip school to take a trip to orlando - and one accidentally in 2013, when a bike trip on the California coast took us near Vandenberg for USA-245/NROL-65, a Delta IV Heavy launch and we stopped to watch it with some locals.
Eager spent his career writing software and retired from a large Redmond-based software company that you *might* have heard of.
