the news article tried to downplay the use of the DOS operating system

DOS was never the OS for the space shuttle. The space shuttle carried
experiments from many different agencies and some of them used DOS. That
does not mean that DOS was the OS for the space shuttle.

the article stated that DOS was used stupid. did you even take time
to read the article,

But the article does not say that DOS is the OS for the space shuttle.
That was entirely you adding 2 + 2 and getting 22, and then acting
like a 9 year old child when you were corrected about it.

As Jorge explained (uselessly to you, it appears), the recovered hard
drive was part of an experiment installed in the Spacehab laboratory
module in the Columbia's cargo bay.

The "OS" of the Space Shuttle is not DOS, it is HAL/S, a type of
Assembly Language. This is well-documented.
