Well, the last time I was hopping around the south point of the big island, down below the Kiliuea (sp) volcano, I was literally hopping on a 2-week old lava flow, watching the *really* hot stuff drop into the ocean. I can see it now: "STS-37 will be launched now no sooner than February 18, 1990. The launch will slip as NASA technicans must clear the pad of now-hardened lava from recent eruptions ... " The Hawaii volcanoes are the most active volcanos in the world. Hail Pele, John
