The Space Transportation System Mystery Cache

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

This is an idea that PhMJ wanted to shamelessly, blatantly copy. The original cache on which this is based on is located in Virginia, near the current home of Space Shuttle Discovery. You can see the original concept here.

The Space Transportation System (STS):

Conceived of in the 1960’s and built primarily with technology available in the 1970’s, the Space Shuttle rides into orbit on the back of the fuel tank that provides liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to its three main engines. During the first two minutes of ascent, two solid rocket boosters strapped to the side of the external tank provide the additional thrust needed to lift the 4.5 million pound vehicle off the pad. These components along with the numerous other systems that allow the Shuttle to function in space and then re-enter and land are comprised of millions of pieces of hardware and millions of lines of software. That they can all be made to function simultaneously and in harmony is a fantastic engineering accomplishment. The Shuttle may not have lived up to some of its original goals of routine, inexpensive access to space, but it has served a key role in American space exploration and has been a source of national pride for almost three decades.
