Nope. Originally there were going to be six OFTs using Columbia, but the last two were eliminated.ah ok, I thought STS-2 already had mission specialists.

Nope. Standard descent profile.Was the Shuttle's reentry profile at all different with the Spacelab components in the bay?

I hope this won't be considered a necropost, but...
while I was watching a video tour of the ISS, I've seen the laptops stuck to the walls. I am wondering what operating system they use and how many there are there, and also what is their purpose? (like, can't you just have one or two big computers to control the systems?)
She was too heavy. Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour had a lighter structure which allowed them to carry heavy components to the high-inclination ISS orbit.Why didnt Columbia fly any missions to the ISS pre STS-107?
What degree of accuracy are the STS launch windows specified to? I always see it given in hours:mins:secs, but is it actually timed more precisely than that?
If the STS-107 rescue was launched, how would the Rescue shuttle crew get the Columbia crew.? The airlock was replaced by the transfer tunnel to spacehab so the crew couldnt get out unless there were an airlock somewhere around the spacehab transfer tunnel
