Well, 5 days ago. STS-2. NasaSpaceFlight.com has a retrospective: <URL:https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2021/11/sts-2-40th-anniversary/> Turn-around was about 5 months, it seems, but another month was added for tile repairs after RCS hypergolics were spilled. An abort spoiled the Nov 4 date, and the Nov 12 date was also in issue due to mux/demux failure. Launch was 7 months after the STS-1 launch. The flight lasted 2 days instead of the planned 5, due to a fuel cell failure. This was also the first flight where SRB joint o-ring erosion was found. (For JFM, there's a picture of /Columbia/ descending to Edwards. The angle is chosen to give the most appropriate airspeed; I'm not sure what the sink rate for level flight would be if you started trying it at the speed and elevation pictured.) /dps -- "What do you think of my cart, Miss Morland? A neat one, is not it? Well hung: curricle-hung in fact. Come sit by me and we'll test the springs." (Speculative fiction by H.Lacedaemonian.)
