A Special Report.

"America's Re-Re entry Into Space"

Here, from STSpace Control at The Kennedy Space Center in Florida, is ST Chief Science Editor: Connie Chung.

CC: Good morning. Today NASA will once again make an attempt to fly back into space with another shuttle launch attempt. As some of you may know, they tried this two weeks ago only to be shut down. Junior Science Editor Jim Farris joins me now.
Jim, what happened?

JF: Yes Connie, good morning. two weeks ago NASA attempted a shuttle lift off only to be stopped by a fuel gauge that went haywire. But that gauge is only put into operation if two other failure’s occur. It’s a back up malfunction indicator. But NASA says it’s again ready to retake space today.

CC: Have they fixed it, Jim?

JF: I really don’t know. But it’s only a sixty per cent chance today, if it fails NASA will have to wait a month to try again.

CC: That’s interesting, Jim. Why so long?

JF: Again, really don’t know. These people are like computer repair people. They begin to explain something, I get dizzy and need a glass of water and need to sit down for a minute.

CC: Fascinating Jim. Thanks for putting all of this excitement in perspective. Well it’s sixty percent sure for a launch here at Cape Kennedy today. Scheduled for 10:30 am eastern time, that’s 7:30 am Pacific time, so no one in our west coast command center will be up to see it, if it happens, probably another scrub... but this was a better idea than repeating that “Doctors and Nurses Hospital Security” show. That really sucks.
Jim…

JF: Yeah, I hate that show, every time it’s on I feel dizzy, need a glass of water, and have to sit down.

CC: We will be back after this event happens with Breaking News, or a follow up, or maybe an episode of that D.B. Sweeney piece of shit. He’s cute.

JF: Every time D. B. Sweeney is on I feel dizzy…

CC: Jim… enough.

JF:…

CC:…

JF: Connie.

CC: Stay with us. I’m Connie Chung. ST News.

JF: ..and I need a glass of water…and…

CC:…

STNEWS! Keeping the summer hot… all summer long!
