I want to be this guy when I grow up :-) If there is a problem with that movie, it's that those two guys are really likable, when they are supposed to be despicable. Of course compared to Crassus everybody in the movie seems like a pretty nice guy. Pat |

All missions are now *historic*. Me thinks they kind of overuse that word. I remember this coming up during STS-107; that flight turned out to be a little more historic than we wanted, but here are some notes I made at the time: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...psoc.dur.ac.uk (I had an updated version, but can't find it) Suggestions to fill the gaps are appreciated. Andrew, I read you list and really enjoyed it, good work. A question for you, if you please: For STS-86 you listed: "86 - First shuttle crew to document their training on a public website." I attempted googling for that site and came up with lots of nothing (to say I came up empty-handed would be inaccurate). Do you have any idea where I could find the site or the archived information? Thank you in advance. John Pelchat |

Lord knows - I think I got it off a NASA site about the mission. [googles for a bit] http://www.kluft.com/~ikluft/pics/m2cc/sts-86.html links to http://www.phoenix.net/~shuttle/ which 404s - it does seem to have survived into ~2000, though. After some hackery, try: http://web.archive.org/web/199812021....net/~shuttle/ (If that doesn't work, add noframeshomepage.htm to the end and try again - Opera got a bit cagey) -- -Andrew Gray |
