@ewen@photog.socialTaking a break from reality to watch high-speed film launches of the Space Shuttle.
Stepping back in time to a world when NASA was sending humans into space using a lot less computing power than your new TV.
It's a very calming video, watching thousands of pounds of fuel ignited as the shuttle and it's boosters slowly rise into the sky. 45mins of rockets on fire.
Very special.

@spaceflight@spacey.spaceThe #SpaceShuttle was notorious for being a “flying brick” 
, but it could be steered. By angling or unbalancing any #spacecraft already in motion, engineers can create lift that steers their craft in a given direction – even in #Mars’ relatively thin #atmosphere. https://www.astronomy.com/space-exploration/well-need-a-whole-new-landing-approach-to-put-humans-on-mars

@TerryHancock@realsocial.lifeI was absolutely certain that one of the Space Shuttle crews was all-female. I remember some hype about it at the time (and some people dismissed it as a stunt).
But I can't find a record of it. Did I imagine this? Was it planned but not executed?
This really bugs me, because I was so certain of it.
Of course, there were many Space Shuttle missions with women astronauts.
