[FPSPACE] Endeavour to land Tuesday -- first ever mission shortenedby weather?

[Bert Vis]

STS-51C? I have a clipping in my files from the Christian Science Monitor 
that has the headline "Shuttle flight is cut short, but mission 
accomplished", and reads (in part): "The space shuttle Discovery was called 
home unexpectedly yesterday, and touchdown was scheduled for the late 
afternoon. Deteriorating weather conditions at the Kennedy Space Center were 
the apparent cause of the abbreviated mission. NASA said there was nothing 
wrong with ship or crew."
