For those interested in the satellite-retrieval process, I recommend
you see if your local PBS station will broadcast the latest "Enterprise" 
program (this is a series of half-hour shows on various businesses).
This last one was on the insurors' and underwriters' efforts to recover
the two satellites lost from the shuttle flight a while back. An excellent
discussion, including more technical info on the causes of the failures
than I have seen anywhere else. Since many PBS stations repeat programs
or tape-delay them, I thought it was worthwhile to mention this on the
net. The program aired in St. Louis on Wednesday, 24 Oct.

Other topics -- it appears that the same gateway breakage that has
isolated the ARPA and USENET portions of many other lists has also 
affected SPACE. Hopefully this can be soon remedied. Until then,
submitters who have both ARPA and USENET access should send postings
to SPACE@MIT-MC AND post them to net.space.
