     First of all I would like to thank Mr. Yee again for posting all
  of the great information that he does.
     Second, has anyone noticed the lack of missions for Columbia between
  mission 45 (4-4-91) and mission 53 (3-5-92) ??   Are they planning to do
  an overhaul on her during this time finally or what ??  It is a little
  tough to swallow that they're going to take 11 months just to turn it
  around from the ATLAS mission.  I'm guessing some sort of overhaul because
  mission 53 looks like it will be the longest mission yet (13 days) and
  they'll want it in top shape to prevent problems.
     Also, 45 will be the TENTH anniversary of Columbia's first flight. What
  are the odds on getting Young and Crippen up there for the party?  I see the
  Mission Commander and Pilot slots are STILL OPEN.  ;-)

      dates to remember- (2-13-92) ENDEAVOUR  (3-9-95) Freedom Element-1 launch
