STS-49 astronauts Rick Hieb, Pierre Thuot and Tom Akers relax on the middeck of space shuttle Endeavour after the first and only three-man EVA on May 13, 1992. They had successfully captured the Intelsat IV F3 and attached a boost stage, which later sent the communications satellite to a higher geosynchronous orbit.

I just remember all the tries to get Intelsat, then once they got it the couldn't get rid of it when they went to relaunch it. 1992 reminded me a lot of 1985.
