Do astronaut commanders get issued a type rating for the shuttle? If so, what is it's designation? Just curious and bored tonight....

I believe the Space Shuttle is still considered experimental flight and the commander is basically considered a test pilot. Most of the commanders and pilots were super test pilots in their military career, that's where they seem to be picked from.

I wonder how many hours in the sim it takes to be ready?

Without any new hiring, upgrade time must be out of this world.

The drying comes after the melting.

Oh god, I'm going to hell.
