The description outlines a space shuttle style launch with an orbiter carrying crew and payload, two solid rocket boosters detaching about two minutes after liftoff, and an external fuel tank providing engine fuel. The combined weight exceeds four million pounds.
Launch of shuttle or orbiter occurs with booster rockets separating followed by external tank detachment. The shuttle climbs, orbits upside down, then turns right side up as cargo bay doors open and radiators vent heat. Doors close, tail-first reentry, glide to a 200 mph touchdown.
The shuttle carries seven crew members and has a three deck arrangement. The upper deck serves as the flight deck while the mid-deck contains living quarters. The lower deck houses machinery that controls cabin environmental systems.
Mini Page notes that no one knows for sure how kittens purr. Some say happiness increases chest blood vessel activity causing a vibration that creates the purr. Send questions to Ask The Mini Page in Washington DC for a chance to win a Mini Page T shirt.
