The visit of the space shuttle Enterprise, to Ottawa Uplands Airforce base last week,was,in my opinion,a total success.I believe I speak for many, who either saw the shuttle "in the flesh" at Ottawa,or watched the shuttle fly over Toronto,when I say a very big "Thankyou" to the U.S. and NASA for the courtesy visit of the Enterprise.The event was so successful,that the Canadian government has finally confirmed that we will be training one, and possibly a second Canadian astronaut,to fly aboard the shuttle,on a future flight.This event shows the positive side,of what can be achieved through international cooperation in the quest for space.The shuutle was on view from June 8-10,near the National Aerospace Establishment wind tunnel,at Uplands air force base,Ottawa,Canada.Here's to a successful seventh launch of a space shuutle,on June eighteenth. Thankyou, Miles Leech utcsrgv!utzoo!miles
