Hubble

This week should be the launching of what may be the most important Shuttle Mission in ten years. Complete with two shuttles on the pads. The rescue of Hubble was probably the result of a small rebellion in the astronaut corp. I believe the launch is Monday 1800 hrs GMT - 2 PM for the astronauts.

This will be the first manned science mission since Columbia was lost. And such a risky mission that two shuttles must be made ready complete even with a second mission control in Houston.
