You can download a draft of my book, "Houston, You Have a Problem" from
www.dannydeger.net. You can also get a copy of my shuttle entry simulation,
Deger Dots from the site. Enjoy.

I just got feedback I should pull my book because I tell such a good tale,
the government might do something nasty to me. I don't think so, but I
found it an indication my book struck a coard with at least one person.

ROTFLMAO.

Yah. But the tinfoil hat and black helicopter crowd is hardly one I'd
look to for validation.

Oh, wait - you _want_ that kind of validation, because it supports
your "persecuted steely eyed Hero" self image.

I missed the tinfoil hat belief. What is it?

You mean you don't wear a tinfoil hat to keep the government mind control
rays away from you?

Oh that. I bought a special hat off the internet that counters the
government mind rays with its own gamma rays. It cost a lot, but well worth
it :-)

I was going to get one but the one that had an STC for inflight use was God
awful expensive.

With all due respect, NASA simply isn't that prominent on the
"government's" radar. Therefore, your war stories are almost certainly
unimportant to the Cheney Administration.

I don't think so, but I
found it an indication my book struck a coard with at least one person.


Be advised that we do attract quite a few kooks here.

First, due to "space" being the medium "Unidentified Flying Objects"
must transit from their home planet in order to attack (almost always
sleepy or tipsy) people and probe their rectums on lonely country
roads in the middle of the night, we get the crowd for whom "The X
Files" is hopelessly confused with real life.

And then there is the "If only government would get out of the way,
we'd have cities on Mars by now" crowd, for whom anything negative
written about NASA is instantly praised, regardless of the quality or
authenticity of its claims.

Next, there are the "it's all one big conspiracy, going all the way
back to the Kennedy assasination" twits lurking in the corners, for
whom anything written negative about the government (no matter which
part of the government) is greeted by warnings like, "uh oh, you've
done it now... their gonna be paying you a visit to silence you."
These people paying the visits seem to wear black a lot and
occasionally arrive in black helicopters (that this makes them stand
out in a crowd - the opposite of what you'd do trying to keep things
quiet - has not been adequately explained by the True Believers.)

Lastly, there are the knowledgable but delusional disbelievers, who
write clearly and passionately about their very strange notions of the
truth behind major space events. The most notable of this subset of
kooks is the man (whose name I shall not invoke) who insists
Challenger was destroyed not by a leaky o-ring but due to cold-soaking
from a leaky ET, as if this is better than the "cover story" of the
field joint failure. We have also seen the son of a deceased astronaut
who swears his father was killed deliberately by NASA, and not in an
accident. (I think I can hear your jaw dropping about that one.)

So, be careful when trumpeting that someone online thinks your book is
great. I haven't read it, it might be great. But online you're certain
to find someone who thinks Mariah Carey's "Glitter" was a great movie,
too.

Not true, eh? I say it is, and I've got the hemorrhoids to prove it.
Anyway, my microchip implant itches whenever I discuss the subject.

Having worked in the government myself for a little while, the thought
of govt people keeping a conspiracy secret for periods over, say, a
month, is entirely absurd. Civil service life is dominated by the kind
of lowbrow snottiness and vindictiveness that Danny documents so
thoroughly. Any tidbit that can be used in the internecine wars will
be used, no matter how important it might be to the nation as a
whole.

What's a coard?
