#1:  The launch for the STS-40/SLS-1 mission has been set for
     Saturday, June 1, at 8:00am (EST).  The faulty computer
     components were replaced, and the SSME temprature sensors
     were checked, replaced, or plugged...

#2:  Sounds like NO radio telescope, but rather a military
     satellite facility.  There is a whole FLEET of 'em
     floatin' around up there...!
