Preparations for STS-8 are already ahead of schedule, as workers at EAFB hope to be ready to ship Challenger back to KSC by Wednesday, one day early. Meanwhile, the crew of STS-7 will undergo 4.5 days of debriefing beginning tomorrow. The debriefing, which has been 3 weeks in past flights, is the shortest ever, due to the fact that there are few technical and engineering questions left for the crew.
