I've always admired shuttle pilots. All of the training and other BS that they have to go through in order to just get into the program.
I doubt I will ever get to pilot the shuttle, but I'm happy just getting brought along on missions as the tactical support. [:)] |

I thought you were going to complain about CNNs use of the term "Robotic Arm" when describing that great Canadian Invention...

I never drove one but I did work on the Shuttle project at the NASA in New Orleans. We built the external fuel tanks; that big brown thingie that drops away after 7 minutes of controled explosion.

Well, not to brag, but I do have a few flights in the Buran while at Molniya Research.
And I have been struck by lightening 3 times. I invented the concept of faster than light travel. AeroEskaya |

I built a Estes rocket kit once does that count. It was a 3 stage rocket kit that must have gone up to 1200 feet, very cool to watch.

I modified a post-ban Estes rocket one time... yeah... yeah... And it went so high that I had to register it with NASA.
By the way, when it came down it had a moon rock stuck in the nose cone.[BD] I tried to blast the moon rock off with my 9mm, but that anemic round didn't even scratch the balsa wood fins. |

I've dated a butt load of space cadets. There has to be a NASA qualification for extra-agency experience.

Actually, I have flown and landed the shuttle plenty of times (simulator that is). Job requirement. "Flying Brick" is correct.
