I was recently at the Air & Space Museum in Washington, and
one of the Shuttle IMAX films they show (Not "Hail, Columbia")
includes footage of the original deployment of LDEF.  As they
pop it out of the payload bay, one of the astronauts comments,
"We'll be back in a year or so to get it."  Or so, right.
There were a few titters among the aficionados in the
audience.
