Norm Carlson served as the launch vehicle test conductor for Apollo 11, the first moon landing, and the test director for STS-1, the maiden launch of the space shuttle Columbia, but he may be best known for starting the tradition of providing beans and cornbread to celebrate a successful liftoff. Carlson, who is credited by his peers for also devising the “built-in hold” in launch countdowns, died on Sunday (March 1) at age 81.
