Drive inn burger joints and classic rock are the only two things you should be thinking of after we learn about the Titan IIIE rocket.

 

Dazed and Confused, although created in 1993, takes us on a memorable and nostalgic trip into the 1970s. Connect this era to the maiden flight of the Titan 3 and you will see how people lived during these vintage times!

 

This vintage day in space will take us to the maiden launch of the Titan IIIE rocket which occurred Feb 11th 1974.

The rocket was powered by a twin nozzle LR 87 engine with a Centaur upper stage. The second stage used a RL 10A-3 liquid hydrogen fueled engine.

If you ever watched a 1970s rocket launch, then you may be wondering what went on outside the launch facilities and NASA. Disco balls and poofy hair dominated the culture during this time. I can assure that one thing happened and one thing did not happen at NASA during this time. People who worked on rockets and spacecraft did not have poofy hair, but the NASA logo did get a face-lift to what we call today as "the worm".

 

The Vietnam war is something to think about during these times considering the controversy surrounding that. The Rubic Cube was invented and kids all across America were playing with these while watching the Titan III launch at tv. Skittles made its debut and was the snack of choice for some spaceflight enthusiasts. Vintage spaceflight launches in the 70s mostly involved interstellar probes launched and Delta and Titan series rockets dominated the launch cadence. Apollo closed out its program after 1972. A typical day in the life might include waking up, grabbing a McDonald's breakfast, watching the Titan III lift off, hitting up the local roller rink, and gathering up your gang and drive your classic convertible to a drive inn burger joint.

The 1970s brought us some interesting sci-fi shows. The one hour long Buck Rogers series makes is debut on September 1979. Gil Gerard and Erin Gray are the top notable members of the Buck Roger's case. Gil Gerard plays Buck, a lost space pioneer frozen in cryostasis from generational travel. He is brought back decades later during a thawing.

 

The opening title sequence of the series show footage from Apollo 4 and Apollo 6. You can learn more about these launches here as well as the nostalgic parts even if you never were born in that era! Oddly enough, those launches were in the late 60s and early 70s of the Saturn V rocket. Well enjoy your time in 1974 and remember to put the 70s away when your done!
