#firstspaceshuttle

[curiositymine]

There were only six space shuttle orbiters. There was also Pathfinder. In July of 2017, I had the opportunity to visit the US Space & Rocket Center in Hunstville, Alabama -- home of Pathfinder, a replica space shuttle orbiter with a unique heritage, and an important part of the space shuttle program in its own right. In this video, I explore the history of Pathfinder and the early testing stages of the orbiter program.
