I was refering to the previous attempt, blamed on a contractor who
didn't realise that the measurements given were in Metric. I hadn't
heard who was catching the blame for the most recent one. Personally I
believe all NASA's problems would be solved if they would only hire
middle aged programmers as astronauts (but I guess I should take that
to alt.pipedreams :-)
