Author	Topic: STS-1: Crew's view of Kennedy Space Center
Lunar Module 5 Member Posts: 370 From: Wales, UK Registered: Dec 2004	posted 05-22-2014 03:25 PM In listening to the audio of STS-1, there is a point, 24 hours into the mission, when Capcom Joe Allen asks the crew to look down to possibly view Kennedy Space Center. The crew respond that they can see the Shuttle Landing Facility and Vehicle Assembly Building and Bob Crippen says he would take a photo of it, which he apparently does. Has anyone seen this picture? Has it ever been published?

In the days after STS-1 I read in a newspaper that several rolls of film were useless because of wrong camera settings.
