APOLOGY
By Edwy ap Edwin, staff writer
In Monday's TMS Times,
it was printed that the Anti-
Seabrook Demonstration article would be continued
on Tuesday.
Instead, the TMS Times printed articles
on the San Fransisco
earthquake of Monday evening, and the delay of the space
shuttle
launch.
I was forcibly reminded of
this error of omission when
Megan, her cheeks wet, sobbed, "You bumped
me for the Space
Shuttle?!"
Chagrined, I promised a "profuse and eloquent
apology"
The TMS Times, facing competition

news. We

the
same secret admirer....
WHAT IS "GALILEO" ?
by Edith McCloud the Second, Staff Writer
The Galileo probe launch Wednesday is the
most sophisticated
deep-space probe yet launched. Its electronics systems
are de-
signed to detect and correct faults.
Galileo was originally designed to use
the "space-shuttle
Contour booster rocker", but after the C hallenger accident, Gal-
ileo was redesigned to be launched from Earth's orbit by
a low-
power solid-fuel engine. According to NASA, the engine, and minor
in-flight course corrections, will be powered by "themoelectric
generators fueled by plutonium pelets" delay reactions. Sources:
