I'm quite familiar with that. I used to work closely with the payload

rating" actually is?). Even without crew, you'd have done the same
thing on any reusable vehicle, because the vehicle is such a costly
asset.


Horse hockey. It was crew driven by the safety panel. Downey had
nothing to do with it.

I know what manrating is. I worked on the LV side for OSP.
