 SPACE SHUTTLE PREPARED FOR LAUNCH      
 NASA is preparing the space shuttle    
 Columbia for launch today despite the  
 threat of poor weather.                
                                        
 Technicians at Kennedy Space Centre    
 began loading the shuttle's fuel tank  
 with 500,000 gallons of super-cooled   
 hydrogen and oxygen.                   
               p                        
 But forecasters said there was an 80%  
 likelihood that bad wathju would       
 postpone the lift-off once more.       
                                        
 Columbia's mission has been postponed  
 several timer since 28 September dui to
 a series of technical problems.
