I am planning a party to celebrate the complete exploration of the galaxy in about 200,000 years. (I expect at least 50 trilion to show up).

I know they are in the process of studying the LDEF right now, and I would be real interested to find out how all those '1 year' experiments lasted all this time..

I guess they don't want NASA to be able to figure out what orbit they went to. ;-) -- John Woods, Charles River Data Systems, Framingham MA, (508) 626-1101 ...!decvax!frog!john, john@frog.UUCP, ...!mit-eddie!jfw, jfw@eddie.mit.edu ------------------------------ End of SPACE Digest V11 #46 *******************
