Shuttle Return to KSC
Preparations for Columbia's return to KSC were several hours behind
schedule today, but that was due to the unfamiliar terrain and officials
expressed hopes that the shuttle will return on 7 or 8 April.
Meanwhile, the late June launch date for STS-4 may be set back,
as workers are now planning to remove and rebond more strongly
1200 tiles, due to the loss of 38 this mission.  The rebonding
process started after STS-1, and plans were made to rebond 400
per mission.
