1. An on-again, off-again, six-hour repair effort by astronauts Rick Hieb, Jim Halsell and Chiaki Mukai seemed successful. 2. By Saturday, clean-up and repair efforts were under way. 3. Construction has also dug itself into the deepest hole, requiring the biggest repair effort to overcome the accumulation of bad debts. 4. In addition to their repair efforts, the astronauts had transferred more than a ton of supplies to the station for future residents. 5. Like Con Ed, the city would have also replaced the broken water mains as part of its ongoing repair efforts, accident or not, Golub said. 6. Marc Yaggi, a lawyer for Riverkeeper whose job is to monitor the city water supply for problems, still decries the pace of the repair effort. 7. Mission managers may assign the shuttle crew to repair the problem using the new boxes or to simply leave the gear for a future repair effort. 8. Mission managers planned to assess the repair effort today and make a final decision on the timing of the next attempt. 9. Much of the work and expense of the repair effort might have been avoided if it had not been neglected so long. 10. No explanation has been offered for cause of the problem, and repair efforts are under way. |
