  Please provide data showing Shuttle average payload as 56,000 lbs.
  Please note that your 'average' figure is higher than the official
  NASA 'greatest' payload. According to the NASA "1991 in Review"
  the heaviest Shuttle mission was STS-43 in August, 1991. The payload
  for this mission was approx. 46,500 lbs. (28.5 inc, 160 mile alt.)
