I need some help on some space shuttle trivia. This is for a
report I'm doing in one of my classes. Any of the answers will be
greatly appreciated. If there is enough interest, I will post
the answers once I've gotten them all.
1. What does STS stand for? (an easy one)
2. Who was the veteran astronaut commander on STS-1?
3. On the most recent mission, who were the two veteran astronauts?
4. What is the name of the proposed space station?
5. On which STS were all of the astronauts veterans? And what is the
date of that mission?
Thanks again for your help.

Now maybe I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, and I like trivia games as much as the next guy, but hey ---- Doesn't anybody go to the library and do research anymore? or is it easier just to get on the net and ask for the answers. Requesting help on some proprietary or highly-specific subject (after researching it on your own as much as possible) is a wonderful use of NETNEWS. But the original poster (and I'm sorry to pick on Mr. Kapusta) is at a major university with various library resources at his disposal. This is not the first time this sort of thing has arisen, and is perhaps indicative of higher education today. There, I feel better now :-) M.
