Partly true, but mostly because I worked at KSC in Launch Control from STS-2 to the Challenger diaster. A very non-glamourous job on the second floor sending telemetry data to the Firing Rooms a couple floors up. I did get to do "safety walkdowns" which included crawling around the launch pads, the VAB, and one time, Columbia's flight deck. Needless to say; it was a hash-free environment...
