--Apple-Mail-1--1059909543 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Mental slippage has insisted on substituting the name "Discovery" for "Endeavour", even to the point of borrowing an extra "u" from Endeavour and putting it in Discovery (Discouvery)??? Even after rereading prior to posting, I did not notice. Not until I read the posted copy that came on the listserve did I finally take note of the error made. Sorry about that; I'm sure that most folks were not misled; you knew the difference and I did too. So it is space shuttle, ENDEAVOUR, not Discovery that is coming home today.
