my question is about not necessarily a shuttle in flight. its about the conditions around the shuttle. im guessing if space is tranparent light does flow through the shuttle window yet when they look out the astronauts see darkness. is that correct? maybe i should have posted in a space forum instead of a shuttle flight forum.
