| Feb 9, 2019 at 5:19 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | This is more or less how autoland works on aircraft, which was already used in scheduled passenger service for almost a decade when the Shuttle was designed and over a decade when Buran was designed, so it was already well proven, and is probably no coincidence. (Autoland development started in the late 40s in fog-plagued Britain.) | |
