As Roger mentioned, NASA managers called mission 61-B (Atlantis' 2nd flight)
an unqualified success.  But, I for one wish something had gone wrong
(a flaky toilet, somebody getting a headache or nausea, etc) just so I
could hear the press whine about the shuttle again :-).

<DON ASBESTOS SUITS>
Everytime the least little thing (or big thing for that matter) craps out,
we get subjected to a lot of press flacks moaning how the shuttle might not
be worth all that money, blah blah blah.  One thing is obvious:  most
reporters have never tried to build ANYTHING of any sophistication.

Thanks for listening to me whine.
