Excuse me if this was posted while I was on vacation, but has a name been chosen yet for the 5th shuttle orbiter, allegedly now under construction? Will the name come from a schoolkids' contest to take place this academic year? BTW, with NASA devoting all this land area and money to development of improved SRBs, to be used in the late 1990's, you'd THINK they'd build a few more orbiters! Or will these rockets strap onto the 2nd-generation shuttle?
