Now, instead of delaying Wednesday's takeoff to KSC until Friday, officials say they might even make it by Tuesday. If weather holds, the tail cone could be assembled and attached by tomorrow night, and the shuttle could be hoisted on the 747 Sunday or Monday. Officials won't know until Monday when the takeoff will occur. ----------------------- In other news, Bruce Murray, director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the past six years, has announced that he will step down from that post at the end of this year. No new director has yet been named. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
