@PREMATUREDETONATION Who gave this comment all the negative points? It is not right for some idiot to shamelessly 'express' opinions as if they themselves are the end all and be all.

Thanks to the uploader for this series.

This goes too show, people calling the shots on advanced technology should be ENGINEERS AND ONLY ENGINEERS.

This is mostly the governments fault..they kept pressuring NASA and their contractors/sub companies to make public releations their "prime concern",cause of fear of loosing funding..they should have passed a bill where NASA's budget would be "untouchable" within  certain limits..to the degree that they could fous solely on safety and their technology without the ghost of cutbacks hanging like an infected b*llsack over them...it was Nixon who started the trend,and Obama keeps up the tradition,boo

The woman with the barette training beside Christa McAuliffe is Barbara Morgan, who was her back-up, and eventually was a NASA astronaut, and flew aboard Endeavour, Challenger's replacement. She was a mission specialist in charge of the shuttle's remote arm on the trip to space, safely and back. The trip was not without peril. Endeavour was damaged on launch, but Astronaut Morgan's assistance helped to be sure that the crew could return safely.

He's lying, JJ. It's against the law (and against ebay policy) to sell that kinda stuff there... whatever he said was found from the Shuttle.
