The United States is expected to return to space at 2:51 p.m. today with the launching of the space shuttle Discovery, the first such launch since the death of the crew of the Columbia.
As I mentioned in the July 2 Turner Report, the Discovery is same space shuttle that carried Carthage Senior High School graduate Janet Kavandi into space on June 2, 1998. I would love to read some recollections from Carthage Press Managing Editor Ron Graber on the subject since Ron went to Cape Canaveral to cover the event seven years ago.
If you missed my recollections of the Press' coverage of the event, both in Florida and in Carthage, you can read it at the following link:
