[Udo Schneider <uschndr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

last msg (and 1st precise launch time) from 
"Buckingham-1, Bruce" (KSC RELEASE NO. 51 - 02):

"The launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour has been confirmed
for Thursday, May 30, at the preferred launch time of
7:44:26 p.m. EDT (23:44:26 GMT). All remaining countdown
activities continue on schedule."

It was the test of a program I wrote for estimation
