*> ouch <*  (

I did it again. Astro is American. Because of this enlightnment, I'd like
to change my opinion:

It wasn't a setback, but only beacause NASA got lucky being able to run
it from the ground. The mission went much better than I anticipated after
hearing about the second computer failure.

BTW --  I meant no ill intent toward the European Program.
