	Because it's good to document bonus answers, and there's no way to do it other than comments: Enterprise is taken as a bonus answer here. Any others? (There shouldn't be, in this case...)

	Brandon: Those were not space shuttles. Voyager was a series of satellites and Apollo was a series of missions to the moon.

	@Phil S.: Not bonus answers as such but the spelling mistakes `Colombia' and `Endeavor' are also accepted.

	Jason: not all apollo missions went to the moon 11-16 IIRC went to the moon, and 10 was a test flight to the moon

	For trivia sake, there was a "shuttle" pathfinder built. It was a full size mockup of the shuttle built of steel and wood. It was used to test road clearances, to test out the lifting cranes, and the fit of the shuttle to the launch tower. It was given honorary title OV-098B and is on permanent display at Marshall Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL where it is currently being refurbished.

	Cant believe I missed the atlantis!!!! I even got the bonus enterprise.

	I think the Soviet shuttle Buran should be a bonus answer, as the quiz doesn't specifically ask for US built shuttles specifically.

	"Explorer" is the one they have on display at the Kennedy Space Center. Its a fully scale replica.

	Hey BAMAP! I live in the Rocket City too! War Eagle! Anyways, I really think that Pathfinder should be a bonus answer

	@Elmo: he was suggesting a quiz, not complaining about this one.

	DeeJay: "I think the Soviet shuttle Buran should be a bonus answer, as the quiz doesn't specifically ask for US built shuttles specifically" I definitely second that idea.

	lol @ enterprise bonus!

	@darkchocolate: "Enterprise" actually isn't a joke, a space shuttle called Enterprise was constructed for use in testing, research, and planning for the space shuttle program, but wasn't ever capable of going to space.

	got all 6 pretty easy but i liked it.

	I was surprised at how few I knew. It didn't help that, in my head, I combined Endeavour (knew there was one starting with E!) and Discovery (knew there was one that made me think of adventure!) and got Explorer. Doh... :)

	Thanks for the quiz. I love trivia especially about science and space. Nice work.

	I second the idea that Buran should be a bonus answer.

	What were the ones in "Armageddon?" Freedom and Independence?

	Should have made this a minefield, for the übernerds and children of the 80's

	@ Qrystal: that's better than getting "Endescopy"
