There were landings at KSC and on a paved runway in Edwards before the Challenger accident, Challenger actually DID the first landing at KSC. The reason why they switched back to the lakebed in Edwards was a blown tyre while landing at KSC. After that, nose wheel steering and a parachute were added (Endeavour was already shipped with these upgrades).

So by your logic when they made the first car they should have stop making cars and tried to build an airplane? You do realize that the space flight has helped us invent everything from electric cars to tang.

she's a stupid bird. even Big Bird on sesame street at least made kids happy. Waste of main streets' money, giving a few fem-nerd scientists jobs. Take this money instead for for logistical research for future 'actual' space travel (long distance - yes, this will take brains and money). i.e., work on something intelligent, not something 'puttery', and of no use to anyone.

Parachutes were installed after the Challenger Accident when KFC's landing strips were redesigned to accomidate shuttle landings. Prior to this, all shuttles landed at Edwards Air Force Base in Calfornia and used a long dry lake bed to land, thus not needing the parachutes.

They didn't use parachutes back then. I think the parachute came around the time Endeavour arrived.

how come the parachute didn't deploy?
