Beautiful - Best trained crew in the world, amazing thing is the shuttle is just a glider during re-entry towards earth. The pilots are blazing through the earth's atmosphere nearly 18,000 MPH and to break that speed it does zig zag during it's flight path to create drag and they can fire rockets to allign the desired angle of the nose to the final destination cordinates. Gotta love engineering.
humans are capable of such amazing dreams and such terrible nightmares... watching launches and landings always makes me emotional...
