The software behind the space shuttle (Download Squad)

Aug 10th 2005 12:41PM To the Author of the article: Not all systems on board use the software you're describing. Only critical systems such as APUs, Orbit Trajectory and such. If you look closely at this picture you can easily tell they also use Windows Software on their shuttle flight. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-114/hires/s114e7539.jpg I would consider revising your article if I were you. You need to state somewhere in your Windows/OS Bashing article, that the Shuttle Flight DOES use Windows for non-critical computing.
