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.
