Just heard that the Soviet Space Shuttle is set for launch on May 18.
Dignitaries are assembling at the Baikonur Cosmodrome for the
event.  Cable News Network is supposed to televise live.
If I knew the time of launch I could compute the orbit and 
determine if North America has a chance to see it.  Please send mail.
Thanks.  Bruce.
