 Just a few more comments...

   I just got off the phone with a friend that has been working on the
  TDRS sat for the last year or so.  He was down there for the liftoff 
  and saw the whole thing.  It was the first time he saw a liftoff "live".
  He said it was hard to describe the feelings of the people that were 
  there except to say they were devastated.  They are now going to use
  the next in line for the lost TDRS and the spare that was planned, now
  must be included also.


  January 28th, 1986 was my 25th birthday and one I'll never forget.
