How would you like to have that view at your job? With the launch of the Space Shuttle  Endeavour , STS-61 was the first mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope.

Lincoln Beachey is one of the most famous men you’ve never heard of.

Yup. Never heard of him. I’ll have to do a write up about him. Thanks for the tip!

i wouldn’t mind the view. i wouldn’t want to be the guy that fucked up the worlds most important telescope.

Yeah, but they didn’t. Talk about the right stuff. There is a fantastic IMAX movie about this mission. It’s worth seeing.

I’ve seen some Youtube video about it. It was a rookie glass mistake or something, not an Astronaut mistake. I wish I could be an astronaut.
