Fate of Space Shuttles Unknown


Kennedy Space Center: Shuttles' fate
unknown. Florida Today, Sunday,

"The fate of NASA's multibillion-dollar
space shuttle fleet remains an open
question.

NASA recovery teams will reopen Kennedy
Space Center Monday and begin to tally
damage done at the agency's coastal
Florida spaceport. High winds from the
easternmost edge of Hurricane Frances
made it too dangerous to send teams in
to KSC on Sunday."

"Outside, winds pick up even stronger.
They hear on the radio that Cape
Canaveral a couple miles to the north
is measuring 125 mph winds."
