Things have improved dramatically in the beer stakes temperature wise in the last decade - although bitter is best served "cool". That said, at least you can buy drinkable beer in the US now :-p |

STS-1 really was a fairly big leap of faith that did uncover at least one fairly serious control problem (that Mary has talked about numerous times).
