Astronaut to set record

ASTRONAUT Robert Curbeam is poised to set a record next week when he is scheduled to embark on his fourth spacewalk of the space shuttle Discovery mission, this one to work on a stalled solar panel.

That would be the highest number of forays into space conducted by a crew member on a single mission.

Asked if she was concerned about fatigue, lead spacewalk officer Tricia Mack broke into a smile.
