History
Pegasus is a full size plywood Space Shuttle mockup built to NASA specs for one of the Space Camp locations. After the particular camp folded from a lack of proximity to NASA's facilities in either Florida or Texas, the mockup was moved to the University of Oklahoma's Aerospace Engineering Department and used for the Oklahoma City area's school systems' summer science camps. As the 'Wave hit and folks were less and less enamored of hardtech space exploration, the mockup was mothballed in a warehouse in Norman, Oklahoma, while the space it had taken up was used for a paleontology exhibit.
Remembering Ptichka, a group of NASA Fen had a blue hair day and decided to get the shuttles in the public eye again. An attempt to handwash Pathfinder at the still-active Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama was thwarted, but a simultaneous, more thorough, run on Pegasus was successful. However, the "adult" in charge (who was sixteen) was not aboard as the nascent AI on board woke up and lifted with a whinny.
Known Vehicle Quirks
- A Horse is a Horse, of Course of Course: True to her name, Pegasus has the rough intelligence and communication ability you'd expect from a winged horse. Sometimes this means she's calm, sometimes it means she's... not so calm.
Known Crew Quirks
- None, as yet.
