Just in case you have a really nice telescope.

Once again we can join neighbors, family, friends, kids, grandkids under a clear evening sky to watch our space shuttle soar through the stars above.

the detailed shuttle tile survey was completed this morning. everything checked out, though the official word on whether it is safe for the orbiter to come home will not be announced until sunday.

as for future flights, the fleet is grounded right now, but we do not expect large delays at the moment. though i'm sure this will change.
