Hi! Some great news for Hubble Telescope Fans. After years of
debate, NASA Administrator Mike Griffin gave the go-ahead for what
could be one of the space shuttle program's most dramatic missions:
a final repair visit to the Hubble Space Telescope.
Originally, this fifth Hubble servicing mission had been planned for
2004 but that plan had to be changed in 2003, when the shuttle
Columbia and its crew were lost due to damage done by flying foam
insulation shortly after launch.
I have added a 2007 launch schedule page.

Covers all the space shuttle launch dates and lots more. Refreshed
some of the products - remember be nice to yourself and treat your
self to a space pressie.
Also updated the 2006 page:

The page has links to Ares 1 and Ares V. At long last Human Space
Exploration is starting. Unfortuately we will have to wait at least
10 years before humans go beyond earth orbit. A big question I'd
like to ask UK readers? Why doesn't the UK have a manned space
programme?
