I can't resist pointing out three things one more time.

1. That a poster has not spent ten years researching this does not mean that
any facts they point out are irrelevant.

2. A crime in which everyone involved, decades after the event, has never
talked when they know they could make millions from the tabloid press if they
DID talk, cannot happen in the real world.

3. In a police investigation, they look for the existence of MOM: Means,
Opportunity, Motive. Means was easy - the capsule was such a jury rig it might
have been more amazing if it never caught fire. Opportunity is a little
tighter, but certainly there were dozens of people who would have had the
opportunity to move wires, shave off insulation, or whatever. Motive - here
the whole conpiracy thing hits a brick wall. No one has ever proposed a motive
that is in any way believable. Given that a decision by higher-ups to ground a
certain astronaut could have been accomplished simply by bribing one person - a
flight surgeon or even a medical technician (or maybe a hooker and a
photographer) - no sane human being would believe anyone instead said, "No,
let's bribe someone to commit murder, hope no one ever talks, kill three guys,
cost millions, delay the program, and possibly end the program instead."

Case closed. Let them rest in peace.
