At this time I would like to present my summary argument
with respect to the RCS telemetry evidence available to the
public on the web -- for Challenger, Mission 51-L.

Unsworn statements have been made by both sides in
support of their positions. Take them at face value.

There are 44 RCS jets. Chamber pressure plots for two
*left-aft* jets constitute the only telemetry presented by
either side. For the period of flight from t+15 through
t+73.9 seconds, I agree with what those two plots show.

However, for the period from t+73 seconds until the end,
I have shown that NASA is internally inconsistent about
the authenticity of those two plots. Since that period is so
critical, and to my understanding was recorded originally
on stripcharts, NASA's inconsistency regarding those two
RCS thrusters must be explained.

More importantly, both sides need access to telemetry for
the *remaining* 42 RCS jets. NASA owns the original data;
you know how to get it. All it takes is a subpoena for it, or
for a certified copy of the original (assuming a grand jury).

Until then, it is clear that the NASA argument has failed via
*telemetry* to carry its burden of proving no RCS firings
during the ascent phase of Challenger, Mission 51-L.
