As Roger mentioned, NASA managers called mission 61-B (Atlantis' 2nd flight) an unqualified success. But, I for one wish something had gone wrong (a flaky toilet, somebody getting a headache or nausea, etc) just so I could hear the press whine about the shuttle again :-). <PREPARE TO DON ASBESTOS SUITS...> <DON ASBESTOS SUITS> Everytime the least little thing (or big thing for that matter) craps out, we get subjected to a lot of press flacks moaning how the shuttle might not be worth all that money, blah blah blah. One thing is obvious: most reporters have never tried to build ANYTHING of any sophistication. <DOFF ASBESTOS SUITS> Thanks for listening to me whine.
