    Small bit of trivia while we wait for STS-130.
    December 2 marks the date which has seen the greatest number of Shuttle launches over the years.

    1988 STS-27/Atlantis

    201pxsts35patchsvg.png
    1990 STS-35/Columbia

    201pxsts53patchsvg.png
    1992 STS-53/Discovery

    201pxsts61patch.png
    1993 STS-61/Endeavour

    One other connection is Astronaut Jeff Hoffman who flew on two of the flights STS-35 & 61.
