No human ever controlled the space shuttle during entry. They tried it in the simulator and not one astronaut every survived the manual entry in the simulator. The ship completely flew itself. However, the pilot would take over at about 2500 feet (800 meters) and land it manually. They were quite capable of that. |

The issue is the entry involves complex maneuvers using the RCS thrusters not aerodynamic controls. The computer was programmed to turn one wing into the air flow and then the other in order to manage heat. That would be quite complicated with a stick type control while maintaining about a 40 degree angle of attack. Once they got down to 50,000 feet (16 kilometers) the orbiter was down to about Mach 2 or 2.5 and aerosurfaces would work as expected. (There was also a concern about fuel dribble not evaporating and exploding on the next firing). The vehicle would stop using the thrusters and would instead maneuver using the aerosurfaces from that height down until the pilot took over manual control to land.
Matt Bradford from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory leads the team studying this quasar. Bradford notes that the environment around this quasar is unique, producing vast amounts of water, indicating that water is widespread even in the early universe.
Quasars, discovered over 50 years ago, shine brightly from the centers of distant galaxies due to supermassive black holes at their cores. These discoveries provide insights into the early universe, the formation of galaxies, and the distribution of matter.
The water vapor found near this quasar spans hundreds of light-years and is unusually warm and dense. The presence of water vapor suggests the quasar emits radiation that keeps the surrounding gas warm, and there is enough gas for the black hole to grow significantly. These findings expand our understanding of life's essential building blocks across time and space.
Why is there space above the sky? What else would there be? Space is everywhere. Literally. Space is just the enormous empty gap between ‘t...
