Where can I get a list of the Shuttle's system checklist that the crew
run down, on the radio, right before launch? TIA.

On or about Tue, 17 May 2011 07:21:44 EDT, Jorge R. Frank <jrf...@ibm-pc.borg> made the sensational claim that:

Now where's the *real* one, with deets on jump starting and such.

1970's design? Check

Fireworks attached? Check

No new disaster due? Check

Fatigue life excedence
within limits? Check

1370 design changes
since previous launch? Check

Tank mounting bracket
cracks covered with foam? Check

Unjustified risks signed
off? Check

You are go for liftoff.

Sylvia.

Googled "flight data files nasa gov". This is the page that links to it:

Jorge R. Frank works for NASA (or at least used to, I don't know what
his current work situation is) as a Shuttle crew trainer, so that
probably helps a bit on knowing where to find Shuttle stuff. :-)

And if you look inside at least one of those documents, you'll see "J.

Frank" is mentioned by name. :-)
