I just looked at the video for the STS-3 landing and I'd forgotten about how the hose "reared-up" on them.<br /><br />Would the Orbiter have had enough energy to resume flight for a moment (ie., rear wheel lift off) had the nose not come back down?<br /><br />What would have happened had the nose continued up and the "skid plate" (for lack of correct term) protecting the SSME's made contact?<br /><br />Did the crew (Lousma or Fullerton) fly again?<br /><br />Was there found to be any problem with the water (the crew suspected such and stopped consuming it leading to the dehydration issue).
