We have cleared Discovery to re-enter and we have decided not to take any action on the thermal blanket because we think that it represents negligible concern at this time.

It's been an outstandingly successful mission. We accomplished everything that we set out to do and more.

None of the things I showed you are satisfactory. The good news is that the orbiter Discovery appears to be in good shape.

We had a long conversation [in April] about what to do, so we changed out every cable connector, all the wiring and every electronic box. We felt we had a good system.

We have looked at that and it is a doable thing but the margins are small. It's better to have a plan, than to not have one.

Thousands of man hours [were spent] in developing new techniques so that foam in part and other components of the flight vehicle do not come loose during supersonic flight in the atmosphere as the orbiter climbs to orbit.

I'm beginning to feel very bullish about the possibility of making May.

In the long run, we have decided we would like to remove this fairly large piece of foam, just eliminate the hazard that it might cause. We think we have a very strong case to be ready to take that ramp off by the third flight tank. Some folks believe we can accelerate that and potentially even remove it for the STS-121 tank.

We were all hoping the Challenger would come out of that cloud of smoke.

Having three operational vehicles in the fleet affords the shuttle program great schedule flexibility as we move toward flying safely and completing the international space station.

So we're going to try to keep it in as near flight ready condition as we can without putting it through an OMDP so we can use those parts. Quite frankly, people are already calling us and asking us can they display one of our orbiters in their museum after we're done with it. I'm not giving anybody anything until we're all agreed the station is complete and the shuttle's job is done. In the sense that we're talking about mothballing, I'm not sure that's the term I'd use.

We're going to keep (Atlantis) in as near flight-ready condition as we can without putting it through a (modification and overhaul) so we can use those parts.

We are under no thought of delaying launch.

I remain optimistic that if we fly by this summer, we will be able to get three flights off. But time will tell. This is not like the railroad.
