Shuttle up in a year?
NZPA-AFP Cape Canaveral It will most likely be a year before any new space shuttle flight takes place, according to a high-ranking N.A.S.A. official. "On paper, there is still an option to launch a shuttle again in as little as six months with a small crew and minimal payload, if everything was resolved, but nobody in N.A.S.A. thinks that will happen,” he said. The official said:' "Everybody’s talking s about a year,” unless the need arose to "take some ? risks for overwhelming national security purpose, which does not now exist.”
