Reply to Watching a launch in person questions by dfeig
My favorite launch so far after working at KSC for a few months has been an early dawn launch of an Atlas V right before the sun popped up.
SpaceX launches happen way more often though. Night and dawn/dusk launches are my personal favorite times just cause of the spectacle.

The job security is not there I don't know what industry you're talking about.
The second your contract you work on is up you better already have another position lined up at your company or else you're getting let go.
It's normal to see companies shrink by thousands of employees when their larger contracts wrap up and the last units are delivered. You'll still make parts for repairs but that production line is getting shut down.
When shuttle ended half the aerospace industry disappeared.
Working in the defense and space industry, every single senior engineer will tell you to make as many connections as you can so that when the program you're on gets cancelled or finishes it's contract you have somewhere else to go.

The Monster podcast about the Atlanta child murders was the same way. They seemed to REALLY want to paint the guy as innocent.
That and then watching another true crime show where they painted the guy as innocent, but on further inspection it showed they left out a ton of evidence pushed me away from true crime.
