[meteorite-list] Space Shuttle STS-114, ready to launch

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello all,

The shuttle will try again to be launched today.  You could say that the 
future of manned space missions is at risk today, should things go bad.

Hoping the best for this international crew of astronauts.  Wife and mother, 
shuttle commander Eileen Collins is once again being quoted on TV.  (She 
sent me a signed 8x10, not personalized, last August.)  People are gathering 
in Florida.  And all around the world we wait with hope.  Perhaps 
acknowledging what NASA does best, give hope.  If it wasn't so hot I might 
put on my shuttle tech suit.

My thanks are extended to the Russians for letting a hitch a ride the last 
couple years.

Safe journey STS-114,
Mark Bostick
