Space Shuttle Atlantis launched #OTD in 1996 for STS-79, a mission featuring the first U.S. crew exchange aboard the Russian Space Station Mir. Astronaut John Blaha took the place of Dr. Shannon Lucid who spent 188 consecutive days in space, a new U.S. record at the time.
Next up will be an episode covering John Blaha's four month stay on Mir!

New episode! STS-79 was delayed by some SRB trouble, but once the countdown started everything went nice and smoothly. Time to deliver John Blaha to Mir and bring Shannon Lucid home after more than six months in space! https://t.co/iuKRpnthrV #STS79 1/4
