Question
what did the Beatles have in commom with space shuttle number 114?
Hi, and thanks for your question!
The Beatles had more in common with Space Shuttle 114 than most people think. SS 114 had a four man crew, just like the Beatles. Also, the crew was very unsettled by the captain's obnoxious and intrusive Japanese artist girlfriend. Much to the chagrin of the crew, the captain insisted she join them on their space exploration missions. Well, it turns out the captain should have listened to the crew because on their fatal, final, and fourth mission, his girlfriend hit the wrong switch at a crucial moment, and the whole craft imploded on itself, engulfed in flames.
I hope I answered your question thoroughly enough. Thanks again, and long live the Beatles!
Matt

Expertise
I have a somewhat elaborate knowledge of the band`s music and history, from their Hamburg beginnings to their demise in 1970, as well as secondary information from the post-Beatle years.
Experience
I can answer most questions about the Beatles themselves and their albums, as well as some information about the post-Beatle years. I do NOT, however, specialize in concert dates or Beatle memoribilia (i.e. special collector's items, etc.).
