One more thing, Chuck; why didn't you respond directly to the post by
"Anonymous"? Are you like most people on these groups and have killfiled
names like "Anonymous" and "dizum"?

Does anyone remember the James Bond movie, where JB is
about to be cremated by a shuttle launch? If this were
to happen, would death be instaneous?

Depending on the precise location there might be some
discomfort from falling bits of red-hot zirconium (the
"sparklers" seen being used just before launch to burn
off any stray hydrogen), but when the mains ignite that
is all she wrote. The mains' ignitors are inside the
engines so the first result of ignition would be a 2000
degree blast of ionized plasma.

If you post, do us the pleasure of identifying yourself;
using dizum will not get much of a (positive) response
from newsgroups as people feel only cowards use
anonymous remailers.

And how do you feel about top-posters?...
