I haven't been keeping up with the news lately. Does anyone know what happened with the attempt to restart the Hughes satellite that the shuttle repaired in space. Last I heard, they had waited long enough for the fuel to warm up in the sun and were about to (or already had) fired the engine. Thanks. Jimmy Chen (inhp4!wuphys!jmc)

Looks like we're going to get a big win here!
