I do not normally watch that channel, but CNN is running a four-part program about Columbia's final mission this weekend.

I'll report if I spot it on places like YouTube or Discovery+

Hi Bill,

Many thanks!

Same here, but I saw the ad for that on a channel that I do watch and it totally slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder.

I did not try watching it last night, but it is a safe bet that coverage of the Iran attack on Israel pre-empted it.

They did not put it up on YouTube.

On a more positive memory, here she is on her very first flight (and of the program) on the morning of April 12, 1981. Hard to believe that was 43 years ago day before yesterday.

I believe that was one of only two flights with the ET painted white.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, AGITATION, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, AGGRAVATION, INSTIGATION, NUISANCE-ACTION, and HAVOC !

It was. Just the first two flights. Saved I think something like 400 pounds without the paint. I thought the orange-brown tank was strange looking starting at STS-3, but NOW the white tank looks strange to see in vintage images like this one.
