	Well, now that they finally got Columbia back in the air, the local paper also printed a list of the tentative launch dates for 1986. Note that at least the first one has already slipped. You can also call the KSC News Bureau at 305-867-2468 for the latest schedules. Sorry, I cant help you with the TVRO schedules, thou I am jealous.

	Now that I've typed that in, anyone know why there are no scheduled flights for Discovery? Is it having modifications done to it, or is it assigned to DOD, or what? It seems that we have yet to have all four ships in active use at one time.

	116.0 answers my question. It seems that Discovery is assigned to DOD missions out of Vandenburg for the year. So, will they replace the NASA logo with Air Force or whatever?
