Space Shuttle Wind Tunnel Test[edit]

Original - A space shuttle model undergoes a wind tunnel test in 1975. This test is simulating the ionized gases that surround a shuttle as it reenters the atmosphere.
Reason
It's a beautiful illustration of the aerodynamics of the Space Shuttle. It has high technical quality and resolution.

  • Oppose - Grainy, dubious EV in my opinion. I'm not sure if it's very useful in either of the articles it is in. Intothewoods29 (talk) 17:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Intothewoods. It's pretty, but it's not particularly illustrative of either electron or Space Shuttle, and it has some technical shortcomings as well.--ragesoss (talk) 19:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
