                glove on while he is assisted into his launch/entry suit in the
                Operations and Checkout (O&C) Building. Halsell is on his fourth
                space flight, having served as commander of STS-83 and pilot of
                both STS-74 and STS-65. He is a lieutenant colonel in the Air
                Force and a former SR-71 Blackbird test pilot and holds masters
                degrees in management and space operations. Halsell will have
                uresponsibility for the success of the mission and will operate
                and maintain Columbia during the Red, or second shift. He will
                also assist with a materials science experiment and a protein
                crystal growth payload during the 16-day mission. Halsell and six
                fellow crew members will shortly depart the O&C and head for
                Launch Pad 39A, where the Space Shuttle Columbia will lift off
                during a launch window that opens at 1:50 a.m. EDT, July
