Oldest rocketeer!!!

[ColumbiaNX01]

Who is the oldest rocketeer here on the forum? I am 29.
C'mon dont be shy.

 

[Cadha13]

I am 32, but I have coworkers that are younger than the first time I flew my Alpha III in 1995!

 

[qquake2k]

I'm 56, but I know of at least one who is older. Many of my coworkers weren't even born yet when I started launching rockets.

 

[markkoelsch]

I'm 48.

No offense... But I've got shoes older than you are.

Crap.

 

[SDramstad]

58 and nowhere near the oldest rocketeer that I know.

 

[bobby_hamill]

58 and I know several rocketeers older than me and dirt put together.

One even came over on the Mayflower with a senior citizens discount

The back end of my car was on a Tripolitian Magazine cover showing the launch at Fort AP Hill Virginia

No offense... But I've got shoes older than you are.

Crap.

<grin> I know the feeling.

 

[ColumbiaNX01]

I am the youngest in my club; Tulsa rocketry. Lots of experience to learn from.

 

[TALON]

62, and not close to being the oldest! But the future resides in the younger ones, & pray that they outnumber us old farts!

 

[mhanna]

63 here

 

[rharshberger]

45 here

 

[Steve Shannon]

Mhanna has me beat, but not by much.

 

[tmacklin]

I'm 72 but I don't feel a day over 90. (But Peter Olivola is even older.)

 

[Cabernut]

13 to 72, quite the spread. I'm 40 so right in the middle?

In case you find it interesting, here are some (non-scientific) demographics based on the views from some of my rocketry videos:

Age:
13-17 1.8%
18-24 8.8%
25-34 18.2%
35-44 34.2%
45-54 23.7%
55-64 9.1%
65+ 4.2%

Gender:
Male 93%
Female 7%

LOL! I found a T-shirt from 1970 when I was scouting colleges. I also found a reaally ugly shirt from LOC back in the 80's?. So ugly I cannot even wear it. I'm 66!
