Default LA life / Space shuttle

Here's another hint that it's a very stable rig: if it were not stable
the FAA would not let them fly it. Or if they gave them mission by
mission permission to fly an unstable airplane, they certainly would
never be allowed to do all the low flyovers of all the cities they've
been visiting over the last many months. They would be forced to fly
routes where an accident would minimize danger to people on the ground.


I _was_ under the impression that generally fighter planes are
unstable (since if they were stable, they'd be slow to change
the attitude - which is not a good idea for a nimble fighter))
to the point that some need massive computer help just to be kept
in the air.

I may be completely wrong, though.
