Yeah, they're getting good at this.  Rob Navias is PAO again; says the goal is to get Loop A going again towards the end of the week.  (If I heard him correctly.)

I'm in travel limbo for now; can't post as much today.

I'll be getting a short article on in 10 minutes - which I'll beef up by updating with key events - then I'll able to cover. Probably just in time for helmetcam ;D

Pheww.. for a moment I read that Tracy is without a suit ;D
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is !
