Tonight's Film: #ChallengerTheFinalFlight #SpaceForEveryone Documents NASA's space shuttle program of the 1980's,with emphasis on NASA choosing a diverse group of Astronauts to fly in the shuttle and demonstrating the pride the program brought to everyday Americans at the time. B
An internal NASA document from 1977 outlined the first 23 space shuttle missions, but not a single one came off as planned. Space historian and Beyond Apollo blogger David S. F. Portree examines a spaceflight program that never was.
Before NASA settled on the Shuttle's makeshift Solid Rocket Boosters and External Tank, it planned a fully reusable winged manned Booster. It even had a backup plan for a temporary Booster stand-in if the Shuttle Program budget grew tight. Space historian David S. F. Portree describes this fascinating might-have-been from 1969.
After repairs to the ET, she is ready to go out to the pad tomorrow. The Space Shuttle stack's (orbiter + external tank + 2 solid rocket boosters) height: 56.14 m (184.2 feet) tall. It sits on the mobile launch platform (MLP) which is 7.6 m (25 feet) tall. The MLP rest on the crawler transporter which is approx. 6.1 m (20 feet) tall. Total height = 69.84 m (223.13 feet = approx. 22 floors). Looking down upon her from almost 400 feet = PRICELESS! - Photo taken at Kennedy Space Center [OFF AIRPORT] in Florida, USA on January 31, 2011.
