Mike said Bruce was a "goof guy" err "good guy"

He told me I could say this publicly without recourse from our
Elephantine Fascist current system of governing fools..

Cheney has enough money to buy a satellite launch, and after that
happens there will be no freedom on Earth in any way. Chen3y has been
buying Bush's assassination for 7 years.

The space shuttle will launch successfooly, but what is its cargo? An
assassination satellite?

Thanks,

I have some difficulties to understand the logic of the last sentence.
As the failure went up only in cryo cold conditions it could well
be due to thermal contraction of some parts somewhere. Thats more
or less a mechanical problem affecting the electrical system of
at least one sensor system now. But if the Shuttle launches the


Not necessarily. The extremely low temps can cause mechanical problems
insofar as thermal contraction of materials, but there are other
possible effects that are not mechanical at all, i.e. electrical
resistance in metal changes with temperature independent of mechanical
factors.

extraordinary vibrations could well have a similar effect like the
thermal contraction. It could affect the other 3 sensor systems


You can't equate mechanical vibration to thermal contraction. Thermal
testing is conducted quite separately from vibration testing. By your
reasoning, one could do only vibration testing and dispense with thermal
testing altogether, since the mechanical response of the system would
account for all thermal response as well. The two are not the same,
however.

wiring/grounding even more than the thermal contraction of the one
system we know from. So I see no evidence that the problem is
not generic to the whole fleet now.


That's quite a leap.
