Well VickeX it is light because it is in the sun light u dip, look at the earth, its in sunlight isnt it? So geuss what, so will be the shuttle

the space shuttle colombia went down ( crashed, fell apart,... whatever) because it had a hole on a front panel of the left wing. And with a roll, you wouldn't be able to see the front of the wings ;)

You get a better perspective of the nose, back, and wings if you do back flip. If you roll you would be missing a lot more due to the triangular shape of the orbiter. For example you see more of the wings back and front if you flip it.

I have an idea: to save fuel on retro rockets, why not install a few gyroscopes? Then they can work with a computer to manouver the Shuttle in any position with no fuel used.

Lol.07/06/06.First of all the 7th dec launch attempt failed. They got launched the 9th. And from that. They need a whole day to catch up with ISS so that would be taken the 10th dec. 06. And anyway, that cant be real becouse it looks computeranimated as hell and how the piiip can the spaceshuttle be so light? I mean since the earth is visible the spaceshuttle should just be black.
