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.. |
