I was just reading through all the bulletins that have collected in the
last 2 weeks, when I came upon an article that said that the landing and
not the launch was the phase of the mission most likely to have a cata-
strophic failure.  I had thought the opposite to be true.  Can someone
set the record straight.  I've managed to delete the message so cannot
address the poster directly.
