The process should be completed tomorrow. Also, 408 tiles have been removed from the shuttle. These were damaged during reentry of STS-2. Around 211 have already been rebonded, and when the last are done, the orbiter will be moved to the Vehicular Assembly Building, sometime in February. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
