Can someone mail to me, post to the net, or point me to the following information for each manned shuttle mission to date? - Full names of all crew members - Which shuttle was used - Launch date and time - Total elapsed time of the mission - Number of revolutions (orbits) - Landing site - A brief description of the main events of the mission Information would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone have any information on the National Space Institute, the organization that is sponsoring the Dial-a-Shuttle number? Is it an organization worth joining? Eric Smith
