If you'd like to receive my occasional alerts for major events, computed

I didn't think it was a bit long.  It is an impressive list, but I would 
like to see more such lists posted here.  You set an excellent example. 
 
And we're not trying very hard to hide.  Please pass the word along.

With the assistance of Geoff Chester and others, I covered this in Flash 
some time ago.  An STS isn't going to head up to go home, so it will 
always lead on the way home; and conversely, trail on the way up. 
Subject, of course, to any actual operational difference, which we haven't 
seen yet.

Wilma Smith, Channel 8 news anchor in Cleveland, described the comet as a 
star with its own personal cloud.


Cheers.
