A letter writer to the Boston Globe concerned about NASA's upcoming shuttle launch puts it succinctly:
IT IS with a sense of dread that I greet the news that NASA is determined to blast another of its aging shuttles into space ("NASA sets shuttle launch for July 1; dissent reported," Page A5, June 18). Given the astronomical cost, obvious danger, and meager scientific benefit, we must ask ourselves whether it is really worth it to replicate a feat first seen in 1981. For most, the only suspense or excitement associated with this latest mission will be to see whether the astronauts make it back alive....
MICHAEL C. CASCIO, Medfield
The launch of the shuttle is one week from today.
