I heard from a former mucky muck at NASA that Atlantis could be outfitted and ready to fly in one week, if they really wanted to do it. Do you have different information? Not one other person I've seen on TV has said that.
Perhaps that is what he's a "former?"
Actually I think it was a former Shuttle Pilot. It was on KFI this morning. I was driving so I didn't catch his name.
