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! |

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! |

9/10. I got the maximum height wrong (I could have sworn Ox van Hoften was 6'5). |

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. |

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. |

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. |

10 out of 10 but I guessed at the height and wasn't sure about the toilet in Tranquility. |

9 out of 10. The Tranquility node question stumped me. All we hear about is the cupola! Need to study up on it more. |
