November 15, 1988 is a date that has been forgotten by many. That is the day that the former Soviet Union launched the Space Shuttle “Buran.” The Soviet Shuttle was, in many ways more superior to the American Shuttle. “Buran” had a better heat shield, it’s engines were able to provide powered flight upon re-entry [...]

This is what the astronauts see during a Space Shuttle Launch. This is Space Shuttle Columbia from inside the cockpit on a mission in the 1990’s, before she broke up on re-entry in 2003. I’m amazed at how quiet and professional everyone is during launch.

After 10 days of having to hold it, the 3 Astronauts on the ISS got into fisticuffs earlier today after Space Shuttle Discovery Astronauts fixed a broken $19 million Russian toilet on the International Space Station. The fight broke out after a mad rush to get to the toilet first.
O.K., I’m just kidding, but it [...]
