"Flying brick" lolz. Flight computer had 1mb of memory...well, that's approximately 17 times as much as my old Commodore 64, with which I'm told they used to manage nuclear power station systems back in the day.

Anybody can land one. It's all about the number of pieces at the end.

Every time I see this thread title I can’t help but think, ‘should we have a, “how NOT to land a space shuttle” thread as well?’
