NASA weighs last attempt to grab stranded Intelsat satellite
Cape Canaveral NASA ponders two spacewalkers reaching out to grab the marooned Intelsat-6 craft after two failed attempts with a 15 foot hook. If Wednesday also fails, the $157 million satellite will be lost as Endeavour lacks fuel for a fourth rendezvous. Pierre Thuot tested a capture bar without success while Mission Control shifts to manual grabbing with an EVA gloved hand.

Perot gains big momentum toward independent bid
Texas businessman Ross Perot moves toward an independent presidential run in all 50 states. Volunteers in 20 states report enough signatures to qualify, with New York activists optimistic. An AP survey shows supporters projecting far more than required in most states, including a Wisconsin target well above the 1988 Bush total. Perot met Texas petition deadlines delivering 225,000 signatures, about four times the 54,275 needed, and is already on the ballot in Tennessee and Utah.
