And none of the above might have happened had the Russian Cosmos 954 spacecraft spewed radioactive debris over a large area of northern Canada due to an uncontrolled reentry in 1978. Because of the press and political pressure, NASA was forced to "do something" about Skylab. If Cosmos 954 not have happened, the press might have paid little attention to an uncontrolled Skylab's reentry. Jeff Baker Lake! Just look at what it did for the fish! http://www.canadafishingonline.net/nunavut_fishing.html Ah but as I've pointed out here before if the Shuttle had been on-time we'd have missed out on a Comedy Classic! I suppose now we'll have to give credit to the Russians for inspiring the national psyche to rise to the occasion? OTOH now that we have the ISS, perhaps, all in all, an even trade? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAr2HkQr1YM Dave |
