The shuttle safely on the ground...

NASA is going to get undercut by JO, who's starting service on the moon.

Whats the average upgrade time to captain?
QOL?

I was browsing through crew bios on the NASA site one day and it seemed to be two missions. By their third mission they were CDR.

Bayou--Those NASA guys are lowering the bar for everyone.

BTW, shouldn't this be moved to the "Astronaut Forum"? TC

I saw one of thoes NASA guys in IAH the other day with spikey gel hair, a backpack and iPOD. He was talking on his cell while the orbiter was being pushed back. Darn NASA puppy mill Astronauts.

Wrong, sorry to tell you, but the Pilot hand flys the orbiter all the way around the HAC ( heading alignment circle) and all the way to touch down....the orbiter has the full landing capability however.

Did you talk to them on your ham radio nerd?

Do you think they will ever unionize.

I mean look at these work rules. Two weeks on duty and they never got a hotel. Sleeping on the aircraft and no seperate utilities for different sexes. This is WAY below industry standanrd.

I'll bet they dont need a crashpad though!

you think they'd ever let someone over 60 be a shuttle commander?
