I know it doens't matter one iota, a good landing is one that is on the
runway and the crew is home safe - I know.
I'm just wondering if there have been any particularly good or bad
shuttle landings. I'm sure the commanders, being military fighter
pilot types, are super-competitive and like to landing exactly where
they want on the runway, greasing it in so good no one can even tell
they're on the ground.
I seem to remember STS-3 landing, and I don't know what happened but I
seem to remember the nose gear touching down and then bouncing back up
again... STS-91 landed and then kind of skimmed along the runway a
second or 2 then 'lifted off' again for a few seconds before settling
down..
