Hi David,

I really dislike doing it, but unfortunately I have to disappoint you.

During the STS-1, the SSWS pipe system was not yet available, only the six Rainbirds.

In view of the damages that occurred during the STS-1 launch these pipes were retrofitted not until for STS-2, even with Water bags, as one can see in this photo.

But if you call it STS-2 instead of STS-1, then it's true again.
