Clearly, NASA'S shuttle chief, Air Force Lieut. General James Abrahamson, badly wanted Challenger to land at Kennedy. By returning directly to its launch area, the shuttle might have cut at least a week off its turnaround time, the number of days it takes technicians to prepare the complex ship for another flight. Challenger now will have to be piggybacked by a NASA 747 to Florida, probably at the end of this week. According to Abrahamson, that will delay its next flight, originally scheduled for mid-August, by about eight days. Moreover, the space agency will probably...
...much the flaming bird itself but rather one of Challenger's crew, Sally Kristen Ride. As Challenger headed off on the seventh shuttle mission, a bare 59 milliseconds late, the jubilation was as much for Ride as for the machine. By finally launching what Air Force Lieut.

With that, the White House launched the eleven-member Commission on Strategic Forces, chaired by retired Air Force Lieut. General Brent Scowcroft. It followed up with a relentless five-month campaign to convert wavering Democrats and Republican moderates. The payoff came last week: a 239-to-186 House vote-which was the big test-then a 59-to-39 Senate vote to release $625 million in MX flight-testing and development money. It was a resounding political victory for Reagan. Exclaimed the President to Duberstein: "Fantastic...
