Best shuttle pilot?
Het is zò dat Cj formuleerde :
Who is/has been the best shuttle pilot / commander? My guess would be Robert Crippen (STS-1). He piloted Columbia back in april '81, a first in this case...

John Young for my money; he flew Gemini, Apollo and STS. Crippen second; he
only flew STS a couple of times.

Best shuttle pilot?
Who is/has been the best shuttle pilot / commander? One that would stand out for me is the female commander (name escapes me now) who had a number of computer failures during launch and kept her cool and continued. In the end, it is when things don't go as planned that the skills of the commander and pilot are tested. I suspect there have been many other "incidents" where their skills were needed.

That's not even remotely close to being a viable candidate for 'best', because that behavior is nothing more than the minimal acceptable standard. D. -- Touch-twice life. Eat. Drink.
