All clear. NASA reports the debris threat to the International
Space Station has passed. The crew was notified of the all clear at
12:45 pm EDT, and is now departing the Soyuz capsule in
anticipation of returning the station to normal operations.
No sooner than Sunday. That's the word from NASA regarding the
launch of the space shuttle Discovery, after crews discovered a
potentially catastrophic hydrogen leak while fueling the orbiter
Wednesday.
NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter properly followed commands sent
Wednesday to shut down and restart, a strategy by its engineers to
clear any memory flaws accumulated in more than five years since
Odyssey's last reboot.
