The 54 hours originally reported is the ``minimum mission.'' According to ABC newsman Ted Koppel, NASA says that they will take it day by day; i.e. tomorrow afternoon they will decide whether or not to land Saturday; if they go another day, the decision for Sunday will come Saturday afternoon, etc. Tomorrow ``morning'' at 0600 astronaut standard time, Engle and Truly will be awakened for breakfast.
