What's this?

I once got a personal presentation from Story Musgrave about the mission


to restore the Hubble. Well, a presentation for me and two other people(He was part of the blue-sky initial design concepts for Mission:Space in EPCOT Center back in 1998) The preparation for the task of repairing Hubble in orbit was immense. He rehearsed the process in Water-tanks so many times I think he could have performed the repair blindfolded. Was something else to hear and see from his photos first-hand.
