According to AT&T, more than a million calls were made to the special
"dial-a-shuttle" number during STS-4.  The busiest time was during
landing, with over 8000 calls in the final nine minutes of the flight.
This was the first time the number was publicly available, though
journalists (and readers of this list....) had access to the line during
the first three flights.  NASA says that some callers were disappointed
by the paucity of communications between the astronauts and Houston.
