...When "Project Space Station" was finally released for the PC
platform, after it had been a fairly good "thinking man's arcade" hit
on the C64 and to some extent the Apple ][, it occurred about five
months after Challenger. In the game, both shuttles were named
Columbia and Challenger, but Challenger replaced Discovery for the PC
release.

That is, until I grabbed my trusty hex editor and changed them to
Enterprise and U-Haul...
