How to Land the Space Shuttle... from Space
Bret
Bret Copeland, in an astronaut costume, gives an energetic talk on how the Space Shuttle landed from orbit, including reentry and the unpowered glide. It includes real-time landing footage with HUD and audio.
HN recommends it as an entertaining, technical illustration of how hard the Shuttle's one-shot dead-stick landing was.
