The space shuttle is still soaring around the Earth today, and
the Getaway Special still has not been activated.  Astronauts
Hartsfield and Mattingly are to try again today to start it;
apparently, there is a problem with a remote control system
that is preventing them from doing so.

Meanwhile, NASA has attributed the sinking of the SRB'S to malfunctions
in their decelerator systems (i.e. parachutes)  They say that unless
they can find out what happened and correct it in the next pair,
STS-5 may have to be delayed.  They do not want to lose another pair.
