As a little kid visiting Disney, Space Mountain was one of my bigger-than-life memories.
This was before all the high-tech dreams became part of everyday life. I remember the beautiful white mountain-ish shape with the cool projectiles.
I'll admit that I was young enough that I pretended to be a real astrounaut as I buckled the seat belt. I really got into it. I have a vivid...
