The Soviets, who have been hurtling cosmonauts into space with awesome regularity, have yet to attempt such a feat. U.S. space officials emphasized that all of Columbia's first four missions are in fact test flights. Their purpose is to turn up just such "glitches" as Columbia's problems with its electrical system, before the shuttle spacecraft actually goes into regular service...
