Sometimes I wonder if the FBI is actually in charge of NASA.

We all probably know what's going on, but we can't walk into that room since the doorways are so low. No clearance, you'll hit your head.

No, but the Airforce Force (and probably CIA) had a big influence on the Shuttle Program up to Challenger. "Blue Shuttle" it was called. A launch pad was being built at Vanderburg. A 4th, leadlined, "Tempest Approved" control room had been built at KSC LC39. Shuttle requirements were driven by some AF requirements. Crossrange requirements in particular.

After Challenger, it all went away. I wonder what the real payload on Challenger was, and why was the launch on that day, pressure so high?
