Me thinks today's challenger mission would have gone up in a hurricane...this mission is for national security...

Discovery went to the space station. It certainly wasn't a primary national security mission (although there might be something else we don't / shouldn't know about - wait for tomorrow's NYT). As for launching in a hurricane, that sure wasn't the case on Sunday. Let's not get too dramatic here.

Did anybody tell the German on board? Or for that matter our intelligence orgs that there was a German on board?
