micropooz | MSNBC has a quiz that's pretty fun: How much do you know about the shuttle? I found out that I wasn't as up to speed on Shuttle as I thought! But was still way above average on their curve. Let's see if we can skew their curve! |
AstroAutos | 9/10... not bad. |
Paul23 | Only 5 for me but to be honest I was pretty astonished to get that many! |
NavySpaceFan | 10/10! |
cspg | 8/10. Am I really supposed to know who already flew? And I'm not familiar with feet and inches when it comes to height! |
Delta7 | 9/10. I got the maximum height wrong (I could have sworn Ox van Hoften was 6'5). |
jimsz | 8/10 |
moorouge | Me got 9. Like Delta7 got the height restriction wrong. Didn't realise that things had stretched a bit since the height restrictions for Mercury & Gemini. |
Rob Joyner | I missed #10. |
PowerCat | 10/10 here too |
contra | 9/10 |
Jay Chladek | The height question was my only miss, although I was off by two inches. Shuttle pretty much made height no longer a factor, although I believe it still is in the T-38s. The Soyuz capsules are a bit more restrictive, although after Scott Parazynski couldn't fly to Mir due to his height being too tall, the descent module was redesigned a little for the Soyuz TMA craft (Mir used the TM series) to accomodate astronauts of a taller height. |
ringo67 | I got 9 out of 10. I was tripped up by the time to orbital velocity question. |
Fra Mauro | When I think of the shuttle, I think of a phrase that Bill Parcells once used about Phil Simms, which say something like, you may not like him but you will miss him when he is gone. |
KSCartist | 10 out of 10 but I guessed at the height and wasn't sure about the toilet in Tranquility. |
Tykeanaut | 7/10 - best stick with Mercury, Gemini and Apollo I think! |

8/10 for me -- I missed the same 2 questions. |
dogcrew5369 | 9 out of 10. The Tranquility node question stumped me. All we hear about is the cupola! Need to study up on it more. |
astro-nut | I scored a 10 out of 10. Not bad at all. |
OV-105 | 10/10 |
MB | 10/10 |
neke | 9/10 -- I missed the one about the number of STS-130 astronauts who had previously flown. |
MCroft04 | 90%: missed the heigth question. |
tegwilym | 9/10. I had to guess on the toilet one, and go that wrong. |
