The "moving people into space clue" is pretty misleading, since they were each used multiple times over almost 40 years.

Space shuttles are not dubious. Rockets are unreliable in general... 133/135 is in fact a pretty good record.

That's exactly my take too. A 98% success rate over several decades is the opposite of dubious. A weird editorial flex there.

I don;t think they were ever needed to make that many trips to space as they could.

Needed? No one NEEDS to go to space, but indeed, NASA envisioned the shuttles not only to fly as often as they did, but even more often; hence the name shuttle.

Came here to also lodge my complaint regarding this anti-shuttle nonsense. The shuttle program did an amazing job for NASA’s tasks - building the ISS & maintaining Hubble. Neither of them would still be operational today without it. NASA finds itself today wishing that it was less reliant on private companies & Kazakh spaceports. Two well publicized disasters does not “dubious“ make.

I completely agree. I might have gotten it had the unnecessary editorializing been omitted. "Dubious" isn't accurate at all if the shuttle was used multiple times.

All sorts of attempted spelling of chippendales and they were all wrong. Such is the life of a poor speller

The North American X-15 is faster than the SR-71 Blackbird.

The X-15 is a rocket with wings; SR-71 is an actual airplane.

I'd just like to point out that my Barbie has dark brown hair. She is 56 years old though, perhaps they only make blonde ones now.

Thanks for the quiz anyway.
