...Ten Minuteman Ills are under the immediate control of the "launch facility" called Tango Zero. Tango is situated on a farm 80 miles northwest of Great Falls. Aboveground the launch facility appears to be an elongated, plain, fenced-in house. Belowground lie two connected "capsules," rooms shaped like medicine capsules; one is the equipment room, the other, sealed behind an 8'/2-ton blast door, is the room where a two-man crew, sitting at two separate "status consoles," receives messages and stares at boards of lights.

From ten to 20 shuttle trips would be needed just to ferry to the space station the pieces that would eventually be assembled into a Mars ship...

A field of 10,000 applicants for a seat aboard the space shuttle Challenger was narrowed to ten educators, who apparently became a close-knit group during testing early this month in Houston. "When that shuttle goes, there may be one body," said McAuliffe, choking up, "but there are ten souls that I am taking with me." McAuliffe, 36, married to a lawyer (they have two children), teaches social...
