Yeah, and interesting to note, when they had it in orbit it was completely automated and only missed its landing mark by 3 meters. Pretty good for the late 80’s early 90’s (can’t remember exactly when it flew it’s test flight). IIRC they were talking about getting the program up and running again as recently as 2001’ish but that’s when the hanger collapsed and someone was probably made to disappear. ---

This is one of the best threads that’s been on NYSpeed in a _very_ long time. I went back over them again as there is just so much detail. Kudos Josh, great find! :tup: ---
