   From: cdorrough@nortonconsultants.com   
      
   Story Musgraves' description of the Shuttle at the recent IICA2005   
   Conference in Melbourne, Australia, last week...   
      
   Story gave two slide-shows from his time in space - one at the dinner on the   
   Tuesday night, and another on Thursday on his work on the Hubble telescope.   
      
   I spent quite a bit of time over the three days of the Conference talking to   
   him about his experiences in NASA.  Of particular interest to me was his   
   take on differences between Apollo and Shuttle systems (being one of only   
   two people alive to fly on both) and the general superiority of the Apollo   
   platform design.   
      
   If you are not an expert in space systems and ever get the chance to hear   
   his talks, I would highly recommend you go.
