Space Shuttle Endeavour took off on Jan 22 on mission STS-89. Launch was
at 0248 UTC; Endeavour flew up the eastern seabord of the US into a 51
degree orbit....[Among the non-NASA payload is] a locker containing a
dinosaur skull carried as part of a museum educational program. (As far as
I know, this is not the start of a regular `dinosaurs in space' project,
and so is unrelated to the forthcoming flight of Glenn...).
