All the big stories have been told, but there's a lot of equally interesting little stories about the mission, facts and observations, new technology and old traditions. So here's me talking about a bunch of hings you might have missed from the launch.

I love that in order to get to space you have to first drive up a hill, then go up in an elevator, then walk up a flight of stairs, and then it's rocket the rest of the way.

That chunky "1970's era" phone you spoke of is actually a blast-proof phone. The housing and handset are designed to survive being immersed in rocket exhaust and survive without the need for refurbishment. It used to reside at the base (or shoulder) of the Shuttle crew access arm at the 195 foot level of the Fixed Service Structure of pads 39 A & B. I used to work Shuttle closeout operations and had many a conversation on that handset with the Test Conductors in the Firing Rooms.

Oh, Scott. 8:54. The "cap" didn't "replenish the hydrogen and oxygen". It was the "gaseous oxygen vent arm" affectionately called the "beanie cap" and it was there to heat the area around where the O2 was venting (using heated nitrogen) to keep ice from forming. LH2 and LOX came through the T-0 umbilicals at the bottom of the orbiter.

Scott, I worked in the Space Shuttle program for 20 years before retiring in 2010. Hope you don't mind but I have to correct you on something you said about the tank for LOX replenishment being at the top of the Fixed Service Structure (FSS). At the top was the Gaseous Oxygen (GOX) vent arm that vented the GOX from the tank which was LOX. I worked in the LOX facility storage area where the storage tank was and the lox was pumped from there up through the MLP and the Main Engines and then into the Lox tank on External tank of the Shuttle. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work, enjoy all your informational videos.

One of my favorite details about this launch is the whole “capture the flag” saga; from Doug being on both STS-135 & Demo-2 to the flag being lost on the ISS to SpaceX tweeting in 2011 that it was “commencing flag capturing sequence.” It’s a fun little tidbit that adds even more character to an already fascinating and historic event.

Sex-separated toilets are a somewhat recent thing (compared to the human era timeline). Even nowadays, the requirement to have sex-separated toilets (in the context of a workplace) depends on the number of people that will be using it. I don't remember the precise numbers, but it's like if a workplace has less than 6 employees, only one unisex toilet is necessary. In the context of a home, I have visited/seen households with only several (

Makes you wonder what the prediction was for Apollo - given that it was all new and untried tech, much of which couldn't be tested. 13 survived - just - but I can't help wondering if we would have found out the hard way if the programme had been allowed to run its full length. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that it was cancelled early?

I was pretty impressed to see the glasses. I think I grew up when nobody aired shuttle flights so most of my space exposure was through books about the "classics" in the 60s. There's a rather heartbreaking article out there about one of DM2's (Doug?) link not just to the late shuttle era but also to the final flight of Columbia, which is where I learned about the name patch thing. Apparently the close out crew at least used to be the next class of astronauts...
