My engine stalled in his driveway and my 12 year old son sitting in the back seat seized on this situation and blurted out, “Hey, Dad, try SEC to Aux.” Alan immediately started laughing. Priceless. He picked up the tab at lunch, too. A true gentleman, humble and kind.
I asked him that of all the famous people he met from Presidents to Werner Von Braun, who was he most impressed in meeting. He said that while Von Braun was a true genius, he was most excited to have met Elvis Presley. At heart, Alan is just a good Texas boy at heart. Alan gave my kids some amazing advice that they will always take to heart about following your dreams and never being afraid of trying something different.

It is a thrilling event with a pretty humorous backstory not reflected in this clip. I won’t spoil the read here, as it is a great book. Highly recommended.

Perhaps “SCE to AUX” would work better (Signal Conditioning Electronics).

Was this on Broadcast, Cable or HBO/Showtime?
(>yet another DVD set goes on my Wish-List!)

He was neck deep in commercial space waaay before it was cool. He even had a supporting role playing himself (sorta) in a 1991 TV movie (Plymouth) about a lunar mining base.

In this one, you see not just a crew or team but friends and buddies.
