Re:  The Incident

I just noticed this yesterday.  There was a `short' in the newspaper
about it.  Apparently there was a fire in one of the engines during
testing.  The paper said that the launch of Columbia may very well be
moved back to late summer because of it.  There wasn't much info content
in the article (it was only two paragraphs long!)  so I hope someone
with more official knowledge will fill in the gaps.
