STS-1 nice touchdown!

Completed and got the STS-1 Patch. Thanks for all the help. 

Any time

Here's a screenshot of Discovery doing a backflip after I raised the nose up past 90 degrees following main gear touchdown and chute deployment at about 130knots:

Well I have done the unthinkable....lol...STS 26 is complete!  Avec la landing on the dirt runway. Turns out, after watching a thirteen minute video of the actual mission, narrated by the actual astronauts, that they DID land on a dirt runway. My apologies to those concerned when I insisted on a paved runway.


The patch looks nice too!

Finally made it.  Earned my first patch.
After several re-entry problems, (burned up), landed from the first time.
Followed indications on CRT1 (vertical sit.) the HAC and the diamond.
Landed from virtual cockpit, so I could monitor the HUD and the 2 CRT's.
It was spot on.
Now, UP UP and away to STS-8

Congrats on your first successful mission Stardust! Hope your ready for the next exercise in self edification...the RMS...
