Following will be a declared national day of mourning followed by a stout call to redouble our effors after having lost sight of our goals. Federal spending is Officially only 44% of the GDP. Diversity demands minimum 51% of the GDP. A mere 7% can be the difference between utter failure and consuming disaster! -- Uncle Al http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/ (Toxic URL!

She'll be prepared for flight one last time to serve as a backup to Discovery (September) and Endeavour (November), but at the end of the year she'll be parked in a museum. I kind of hate to see them go-most engineering & technology experts consider them to be the most complicated "thing" ever created by humanity. Oh, BTW.. Destination: International Space Station Payload: Russian "Rassvet" storage and docking module -Panama Floyd, Atlanta. aa#2015/Member, Knights of BAAWA!
