On September 3, 2002, astronomers discovered an asteroid with an unusual orbit around Earth. Further analysis of its trajectory and spectrographic evidence—specifically, the presence of titanium dioxide used in Apollo missions—revealed that it was actually the third stage of the Apollo 12 rocket, launched in 1969.

Sticking with the college era #Vinyl and some #Boston, #ThirdStage. Love this album, always great guitars and brilliant vocals from Brad Delp. Scared a few stereo salesmen with this one and getting them to play "The Launch" intro "Cool the Engines" at extreme volume, heh.
