15 Years Ago (Yesterday) in Space

I missed blogging about yesterday’s space anniversary, since I’ve been working on an NCSU-IES project this weekend. And since I haven’t come up with anything better, here goes:

15 years ago yesterday — on October 18, 1993 — Space Shuttle Columbia launched on mission STS-58 launched from the Kennedy Space Center. The crew, John E. Blaha, Richard A. Searfoss, M. Rhea Seddon, William S. McArthur, Jr., David A. Wolf, Shannon W. Lucid, and Martin J. Fettman, performed experiments on how the human body adapts to the “weightless” (i.e., the free fall) environment of space.

Now, back to work. [shrug]
