Ups and Downs - I shall tell you this only once (well, maybe twice)

[GordonD]

Apologies for the repetitive nature of posts in the 'Ups and Downs for February' thread over the last couple of days. The way I'm writing these posts is to begin with a spreadsheet with a cell for every day of the year then go through all the space flights since 1961 and enter their launch and landing dates in the appropriate place. This left a lot of blank spaces so I tried to fill these in with significant events that took place during the missions, such as Apollo 14's lunar landing and STS-63's rendezvous with Mir. Unfortunately when I wrote up the launches of these two flights I forgot that I had listed these events separately and included details under those of the launch. So when they came round I found I had to repeat the information. I've tried not to make them too similar but I didn't want to go back and change the originals. I'll try not to let it happen again!
