I agree we should wait for the shock to wear off a bit.  At first I was
in favor of net.challenger, but I now agree that net.columbia  still is
a good name.  Let's wait 30 days before name change discussion.

I'm telling my congressmen and NASA that I think "Challenger II" should
be the name of the spacegoing section of a fully-reusable shuttle.  I'm
also pointing out  that Congress should not try to reserve the name for
American  craft.   It  would suit  me fine if  it is  pronounced with a
British or French accent.
