Re: [amsat-bb] Nasa keeps shuttle launch time secret

["Robert Oler" <cvn65vf94@xxxxxxx>]

The difference of course is that they kep the launch times secret throughout 
the countdown...I only think that they picked up the public clock at T minus 
9 or something. (cant remember...)

Now they are actually going to release the launch time 24 hours before.  Of 
course anyone with STSPLUS has already figured it out...
