NASA Avoids "Happy New Year" on Shuttle: "ClickOnThis noted that NASA is actually avoiding a Shuttle in Space over New Years. It says 'The worry is that shuttle computers aren't designed to make the change from the 365th day of the old year to the first day of the new year while in flight. NASA has never had a shuttle in space December 31 or January 1. 'We've just never had the computers up and going when we've transitioned from one year to another,' said Discovery astronaut Joan Higginbotham. 'We're not really sure how they're going to operate.'
