Can the space shuttle be landed by Mission Control by remote control? denberg 09/02/03
    If the astronauts on board the U.S. shuttle were all incapacitated, would Mission Control be able to take over and bring them down by remote control? I know the answer is probably going to be No, but on the other hand a few years ago the first flight of the Russian shuttle was carried out unmanned, so it must have been controlled from the ground.
