[sci.space.shuttle] Get Ready!

Folks, despite all the grousing we've done about NASA; despite all the
tragedy, frustrations, disillusionment; despite the long, long, wait...

Fasten your seat belts -- WE'RE GOING BACK UP!

And I, for one, am starting to feel excited again. In a way this one is
going to be BIGGER than Columbia in '81, don't you think?  I have this
overpowering urge to drive down and BE THERE when they launch, too.  If
you ever craned your neck and yelled GO! at a white pencil in the hot,
humid thunder of a Cape morning, you know this will be the megawhammy of
all GO!'s.

So let's wish em luck, and buy extra high grade videotapes this summer,
and generally prepare for our long-awaited return to manned spaceflight
late this summer or early fall.
