Finally, at 1400 EST today, the countdown for the launch of
STS-6 got underway, and officials are hopeful to launch the
shuttle at 1330 EST on 4 April.  Landing is scheduled for
9 April at EAFB, and NASA said today that the landing of STS-7
will take place on the 15,000 concrete runway at KSC.

I will be away next week, so I won't be able to report on
the actual launch, mission, and landing.
