Overview

During the ascent, Robert's heart rate jumped to 130 beats per minute. "That was one fantastic ride! I highly recommend it," he said later. To take this photo, our photographer Fred R. Conrad set up a noise-activated camera. "Because of the importance of the launch and the fact that NASA insisted that the cameras be set up the day before, photographers were given a challenge like none other," Conrad recalled. He reached out to Marty Forscher, a well-known camera repairman and inventor, who helped ensure only the thunder of rocket engines would trigger the camera. To protect it from the elements, they placed it inside a mailbox attached to a heavy tripod and wrapped it in foil. Then, they "opened the mailbox door and prayed. The system worked like a charm."
