To single out McAuliffe seems to me to be supporting the attitude expressed by John Glenn, that astronauts are different from civilians, (Because they're paid for taking chances? I don't know!) and thus civilians have no business being in space. Poppycock. -- David W.

Besides, I hardly think they would approve of such a thing, in any case.

Sounds good to me! We could use all of them. The Shuttle fleet would certainly be up to strength. J. Giles Los Alamos

And lets name this group net.shuttle (Better yet - dont mess with the name! I dont want to recall a failure every time I read the net to learn about the achievments of the shuttle program, rather to see the header named for its founding flier.) And lets fix the SRB's And lets launch as soon as the fix is in place And lets support the NASA And lets sell shuttles commercially And so on.... Hal Bates tektronix!tekig5!halb
