QE2 Disabled in Atlantic Drifts After Boiler Failure
The QE2, the world's second largest passenger liner, lay dead in the Atlantic 280 miles southwest of Bermuda after a boiler problem left three boilers inoperable. Emergency power kept some lights and air conditioning running as passengers enjoyed the ball cruise and bands. After 17 hours of repairs the ship paused then drifted, with Cunard saying there is no danger and engineers heading to Bermuda for checks.

Runway under way for space shuttle planes at Cape Canaveral
Ground breaking for a 3 mile long runway to serve the space shuttle program as construction starts. Kennedy Space Center director Dr. Kurt Debus says the $28 million landing strip will provide steady work for 10,000 to 12,000 people and end the boom bust cycles of the 1960s. The shuttle aims for 700 missions in the 1980s with first atmospheric flight in 1977 and first vertical space flight in 1979, built to land on the new runway at Cape Canaveral.

Caltech JPL officials reported that the supposed moon Charley near Mercury is actually Crater 31, a distant star about 100 light years away. The April Fool’s joke arises from ultraviolet data misreads, and Broadfoot notes the planet may have a tiny moon about 15 miles wide, but not conclusively proven.
