  This was a long time ago, and I could be paraphrasing, but I recall someone (who knew about such things) saying the Space Shuttle was famous for having "the grace and aerodynamic properties of a pair of pliers."

    It flew like a brick on final, but coming down from orbit it was still a huge improvement over previous capsules.

  I look forward to space shuttle advancements and one day commercial travel to the moon!
