Hello all,

This is just a quick question.   Does anyone out there know if NASA still
intends to use the MANNED MANEUVERING UNITS, or are they regarded now as
un-needed risk?   I know that there are now a number of things which are not
regarded as a good idea any more, like landing regularly at KSC.   Thus the
motivation for this question.

Cheers all,
