Space Shuttle Enterprise-Scott Manley video

[Klapaucius]

I had not looked up Scott in a while and did a quick peruse of his channel. This is a great video about a shuttle many have forgotten about.

 

PS. That landing looked a lot like my usual in KSP!

Needs more boosters.

I'd love to see Manley do one on the Buran.

When I visited KSC as a trek-obsessed teen I was not happy when the tour guide had no idea Enterprise existed.

You should be happy he/she didn't remember Spock.

It wasn't a rocket and didn't fly.  Although I think retrofitting it with the rest of the gear to make it a shuttle was considered a number of times, it was always cheaper to build from something else.

I'd be shocked silly if they  know what Little Joe was (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Joe_(rocket)), a similar helpful prototype launcher.
