STS-77 SPACEHAB; SPARTAN (Inflatable Antenna Experiment) 05/19/1996 05/29/1996 77th Space Shuttle Mission 11th Flight of Endeavour Crew: John H. Casper, Commander Curtis L. Brown, Jr., Pilot Andrew S.W. Thomas, Mission Specialist Daniel W. Bursch, Mission Specialist Mario Runco, Jr., Mission Specialist Marc Garneau, Mission Specialist During the mission, Endeavour performed four separate rendezvous maneuvers with two orbiting payloads. In addition, a number of experiments were conducted in the Spacehab-4 pressurized module located in the Shuttle's cargo bay.
This week in 1993, space shuttle Endeavour, mission STS-57, launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center carrying the commercially developed Spacehab – a pressurized laboratory designed to more than double pressurized workspace for crew-tended experiments.
Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth and later served four terms in the U.S. Senate. As a Marine fighter pilot, while flying 149 combat missions during World War II and the Korean War, he received praise for his ability to draw enemy fire and keep the plane flying with huge holes blown into its exterior. Most Americans remember Glenn for taking to space in 1962. Dubbed Friendship 7, Glenn’s space capsule circled the Earth and put the United States on equal footing with the Soviet Union in the space race.

In the summer of 1975, the NASA Ames Research Center teamed up with Stanford University on "Space settlements: A design study" to brainstorm what life in space would look like. Two painters from the Bay Area were recruited, Don Davis and Rick Guidice, to provide realistic, though futuristic, takes on human life inside a space colony. Torus Cutaway AC75-1086-1 5725, painted by Rick Guidice, depicts a toroidal colony design (in mathematics a toroid is a donut-shaped object). Up to 10,000 people could live and work in this home away from home. Natural sunlight was possible, according to the plans, due to solar power, gravity could be regulated through the constant rotation of the Torus, and there'd be a pipeline shuttling goods and services back and forth to earth so you'd never be without. Earth was never too far away from these colonies, that was part of the allure. Space settlements: A design study was just the beginning of any number of creative, forward-thinking, though slightly oddball, money-making tech projects to come out of the Bay Area over the decades. In the 1970s, the space industry believed the cosmos could be harnessed as a potential real estate hub (just as the tech industry today continues to mine the depths of the web for more and more online real estate).
