The Day I Met Joe Engle

I have to say that the Cosmosphere has been having some very cool speakers lately. On Friday, July 3rd I had yet another amazing opportunity. I went to the Cosmosphere to attend a lecture by Major General Joe Engle, a former X-15 and Space Shuttle pilot. He has the unique distinction of being the only person to have piloted two winged spacecraft. He gave a very interesting talk about the X-15 program in general and his experiences in it. Afterwards he signed autographs in the lobby, so I got a very nice signed picture. Thanks Gen. Engle!
