- I usually find that if a Shuttle or other spacecraft is to launch late in
- the morning on a weekday, and I have to go to work, then it's almost
- impossible to find out the status until late afternoon or early evening -
- the major networks usually ignore it until the evening news, and radio
- news stations are erratic. Therefore, for the benefit of those who haven't
- heard yet and who receive this message quickly:
-
- Apparently the Shuttle was successfully launched this morning. (I phoned
- someone who was watching at his home.) No further details at present.
