LAUNCH DATE FOR FALCON 9 ROCKET UP IN THE AIR

SpaceX says their Falcon 9 rocket launch has been pushed back to no
earlier than June 4 to give the Air Force and FAA more time to review
documentation on the vehicle's flight termination system.

ATLANTIS RETURNS TO EARTH WHERE IT COULD STAY FOREVER
-----------------------------------------------------
Space shuttle Atlantis safely returned to the homeport Wednesday after the
final planned voyage in its quarter-century of spaceflight. The vehicle's
rich history included 294 days in space, 4,648 orbits of the planet and
120 million miles traveled during 32 flights. Whether NASA gives Atlantis
one more mission next year remains unknown, meaning this landing could
have been the orbiter's last before retirement.
