I hope something is confirmed either way for their sakes. He does have his heart set on it . CNN this morning interview an official from the Russian agency at the shuttle launch and he wasn’t that reassuring that Lance had a chance to go up. He said his chances where very slim. (Don’t yell at the messenger that is what was reported this morning around 11 a.m or so). Maybe full funding will make the difference.
