Former president to call shuttle, station crews

Former U.S. President George H. W. Bush will ring up the joined crews of shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station on Thursday during a visit to NASA's storied Mission Control Center at Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Bush, who served as the nation's 41st president between January 1989 and January 1993 and also was a two-term vice president under former President Ronald Reagan, will phone the astronauts at 12:40 p.m. EDT Thursday.
