Earl Weaver, the former Baltimore Orioles manager, was famous for an off- color vocabulary even a Hell's Angel might envy. When he was particularly upset with an unfavorable call, however, Weaver would stow the four-letter words and calmly ask the offending umpire, "Are you going to get any better, % or is this it?"

Then, if all went well, they were to stow their gear and make other preparations for an early Monday-afternoon landing at California's Edwards Air Force Base. Discovery's dramatic mission will be over. But an even more pressing mission -- returning America to space with a meaningful and long-range program -- is just beginning...
