It's what I get for being a wordy so~n~so! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now on a solemn note I go to mourn our apparently lost astronauts. I say apparently because I am still at this early morning hour holding out hope that someone at NASA was smart enough to let the astronauts stay on the space station, but of course they aren't that smart are they? If there was any indication at all that there would likely be trouble, and there most certainly was, they should have either let the shuttle stay in space and sent another up to pick up the crew or send it down on autopilot leaving the astronauts at the space station. Even if there were not enough oxygen in the space station for them all they could have certainly adapted something from the shuttle. Where is the ingenuity of Apollo 13? In fact the shuttle need not have even come home at all even on autopilot because it could have been left there and repaired in space with another mission. Didn't they do a huge space walk repair of the Hubble? Am I missing something? Doesn't NASA think with common sense? James -- Cryonics Institute of Michigan Member! The Immortalist Society Member!
