Which copy of Project Space Station is it you have, the original with
Shuttles Challenger and Atlantis or the updated version, after the
Challenger accident, with Shuttles Discovery and Atlantis? If it's the
original version is there anyway I could get a copy of it from you? I
grew up with the space program, my Dad worked for North American-
Rockwell, later Rockwell International, working on the service module
for the Apollo capsules and then retired in 1977 after working on
parts for the Space Shuttle. The day after they rolled Enterprise out
in Palmdale, Ca we went out to see it.
