I'm not much good at speaches and the like and right about now I wish
I had save the poem that others had posted. Well this I hope will get
the new shuttle discussion group running.

               HIGH FLIGHT
         by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

 Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
 And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
 Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
 Of sun-split clouds--and done a thousand things
 You have not dreamed of--wheeled and soared and sung
 High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
 I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
 My eager craft through footless halls of air
 Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
 I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
 Where never lark, or even eagle flew
 And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
 The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
 Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I have doubts about the SRB's flying as straight as they did after
the explosion, if one of them had a "leak".  All I'm going on
is the video shown on the commercial stations, so if anyone
has more information that refutes this, please speak up.
There was report in the paper this morning that there was some 
indication of this in the telemetry, but it's not clear where
that information came from.
