Hmm...I dunno...Mr. Elwood sure used the word "manned" a lot, and pointed out that JV was designed to two-fault tolerance specs...definitely getting a vibe, here... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

You want buzz?... Let me give you the closing words of Alain Thirkettle, ESA ISS Programme Manager, in his testimony to spacEurope, to be published Monday...: "...the necessary capabilities for elements of future human exploration transportation and living/working accommodation are available to Europe, and thus both ATV and Columbus are a crucial building blocks for the future plans of the Agency." What are these future plans Nicholas?... (did you get my e-mail?...) EDITED: Launch has been delayed 24 hours due to potential problem identified with the fitting of the grounding straps located in the separation system. -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
