Way off topic here, but in case anyone else has an interest in this subject, did they see the Horizon program on Channel 4 last night?
Sad to think that corporate spinelessness cost 7 people their lives, when all they were trying to do is push back the boundaries a little.
Don't want a debate about how much the project costs etc, cos we've probably heard it all before, but for those that are interested, found a nice site all about the Space Shuttle and the missions, in particular, check out some of the photo images taken by crew members whilst up there,

After all these years, I still think it is an incredible feat of engineering when you consider that its' predessor, the Saturn 5, was a simple throwaway one-way ticket.
