Are there any photographs of the space shuttle from earth?
There's a lot of amateur photos of the iss, tiangong and HST from earth but are there any photographs of the space shuttle orbiter?

Planned Space shuttle missions
I watched a Scott Manley video and it was about proposed space shuttle mission the us space force wanted to launch a shuttle from Vandenberg to retrieve a supposed soviet satellite from orbit and land back at Vandenberg within one orbit. What is the mission called and where can i find any info on it. As I would like to make a stop motion about it and need some info. Also are there any other missions that where proposed and where never flown.

Has anyone bought one of these?
I’d love to have one for my room, but the reviews I see on it are very hit or miss.

Would the shuttle RTLS abort mode work? And how does it work? Also I think I've heard a astronaut say they thought it it would take miracles for that abort mode to be successful but I forgot who made the quote.

Challenger - anomalies prior to failure
Were there any signs (telemetry/data) that something was wrong prior to failure?
I assume the SRB leak was noticed by sensors. when did that occur? I’ve read the leak existed at launch but was “sealed” for about a minute due to exhaust gases? Would this have triggered some alarms in the shuttle or Mission Control?
were any other sensors blaring during the short flight? It seems the end caught everyone by surprise. I know nothing could,be done while SRBs were attached but I’m curious if the flight was nominal until failure.
ive also read theories that a wind shear caused the final oring failure and dislodged whatever had sealed the leak.
