The flight campaign for the American space shuttle began on April 12, 1981, with the launch of STS-1 from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and ended on July 21, 2011, with wheels stop of STS-135. During the 30 years and 135 missions in between, the program experienced triumphs and tragedies, amazed the world with its orbital exploits, and was frequently the subject of admiration, condemnation, pride, and despair. This book provides a detailed overview of the history of winged spacecraft and the development of the vehicle we call the "space shuttle," and provides a technical description of the orbiter, main engines, external tank, and solid rocket boosters. Two pages are dedicated to each of the 135 missions flown by the American space shuttle, including technical data, crew names, and photos of each mission. The Challenger and Columbia accidents are discussed, along with a discussion of what NASA did to fix the flaws and continue flying. The book concludes by covering the retirement of the vehicle and the delivery of the four remaining orbiters to their final display sites.

Soft & support
Color: White, Size: Queen
These pillows are perfect! I was looking for a cushy, lower profile pillow for side sleeping. So soft, supportive and comfortable! I could not believe the high quality at such an affordable price! They are queen size, so I need to purchase new longer pillow cases.

Color: White, Size: Queen, Color: White, Size: Queen
Muy buenas y cómodas solo la tengo hace 2 días ojalá no se desinflan como otras que yo he comprado , pero si son comodisimas si en un mes se mantienen igual pienso comprar 2 mas They are very good and comfortable. I’ve only had them for two days—I really hope they don't go flat like others I've bought—but they truly are extremely comfortable. If they stay just like this after a month, I plan to buy two more.

Odd, but nice pillows...
Color: White, Size: Queen
These pillows are nice, but strange for me. ..I purchased 2 in queen-size. They are slightly longer than I prefer but doable..and have an odd soft yet firm texture. When you lay the head down ..it sinks into the pillow, but each side comes up. So you have these big sort of firm soft, fluffy pillow ends on each side of your face. If you're a side sleeper, you will automatically try to punch one of the ends down a bit, for the most part, that will be useless. So you will probably end up trying to angle it a bit so that you end up sort of sleeping on the corner sections. (This was for the queen size, for me. The standard may be better.) Also, there really no cool side. If you flip it..it might feel cool for about 2 seconds, but that's it. They are very nice pillows, but I just know I will be ordering something else in the future.

Comfy, soft, helps me sleep without pain.
Color: White, Size: Queen
These pillows are very comfy. Lately, I'd been waking up with pinched nerves in my neck and shoulders so I decided to try new pillows. I've been using these pillows for a couple of days now and I no longer have any pinched nerves. They're so comfortable to rest my head on. If I had to make one constructive criticism, its that I wish they were thicker. I know its just personal preference but I like my head to be elevated more.. however, using 2 of these pillows does the trick! Also, they come packaged really well... vacuum sealed and in a box (which is good because they sat out in the rain for 7 hours).. and they didnt have a strange odor to them. For the price, they are great.

GREAT
Color: White, Size: Queen
These pillows are fantastic. I bought them for my kids beds and decided I needed some for myself. They're the perfect firmness. I don't need to fluff them in the middle of the night and have no neck pain. I have washed them in my home washing machine and they've held up great. I highly recommend them.
