    Atlantis was my favorite of the shuttle fleet. One of the later orbiters built, it had the glass cockpit and it had a pretty impeccable record. It also might have a little to do with the fact I watched Space Camp over 100 times as a 6-7 year old.

    Wife and I drove down from Georgia to see Atlantis, final shuttle launch, truly beautiful launch and was incredible to be there live. I was 11 years old, 1961 when Allen Shepard launched for his sub-orbital flight. Mama let me stay home from school long enough to watch...1961 to 2011...I've seen the first and the last 😪 It was a bitter sweet moment! I always get a chill when the flight director says "your go for throttle up" I get Challenger flash back. I was working for BellSouth in Atlanta, was at JC Penny's at Perimeter Mall installing data circuits...walked over to the TV department to watch the launch...its just something you never forget, it was difficult to comprehend what just happened in that moment of time. Seven crew members gone in an instant on live TV...everyone was crying, me included. It was difficult to get back to work.

The astronaut corps is composed of the most competent civilian and military pilots, engineers, and medical doctors, each one specifically chosen for their given missions because they are deemed to be *the* absolute best person to do that particular job at that particular moment in history. Individuals of both sexes and virtually all races have been *the* right person for that job at one time or another.

      +This Is The Multiverse .. and if you listen closely... they explain/accept it as "cabin stretch".... the inverse of a submarine getting smaller at depth from the underwater pressure.... as the cabin gets larger (stretches), the internal cabin pressure necessarilyy decreases. What an incredible machine.

    Col Doug Hurley there in the pilot seat (on the left of the screen, in position 2, ie the pilot seat being on the right of the flight deck).
    Flew on the last Space Shuttle mission then was Commander of Crew Dragon Demo 2, nine years later.
    In 2011, piloted what was then the last spaceflight to launch from US soil, and in 2020, just 3 months ago, commanded the next American launched spaceflight.
    One of the first humans (Together with Bob Behnken) to launch on a commercial orbital spaceflight in human history (on Crew Dragon D2).
    Awesome guy. Amazing accomplishments.
