Outpost, a longtime NASA tavern, damaged by fire

Possibly. I take it you've got stories *and* photos?
Sure do, there's an entire chapter on the Singin' Wheel in my autobio.
Please let me know if you're willing/able to help.

OM, sorrry I missed your Carpenenter query. Yes, everything I ever
heard was that Scott f**ked up royally, and Kraft was not about to
suffer less than perfection in those crucial early days. Recall the
Apollo 7 astronauts status after their contentionous flight behavior.
So, I like your characterization of having the "Wrong Stuff."

So on Abbey, what's the overall verdict?

My understanding -- not firsthand, but from fairly good sources -- is that:

(a) The allegations that he's a vindictive tyrant, who considers any hint
of disagreement to be treason, and has a management style somewhere
between Louis XIV and Joseph Stalin, are basically true.

(b) However, he is an intelligent vindictive tyrant rather than a stupid
one, and is on top of things technically; in particular, he was the one
who insisted on running the connected-modules tests that uncovered some
nasty problems in the US ISS hardware.

In which he seems very similar to the current POTUS.

(b) However, he is an intelligent vindictive tyrant rather than a stupid
one...

In which he distinguishes himself from the current POTUS.

Sorry, Henry, I just couldn't resist... *grin*...

p.s. -- I can hear your screams echoing from Killfile Hell, Lowther.
Shut up. No one wants to listen to your obnoxious insults. Like the
rest of the Bushies, you'll be one of the first against the wall when
the revolution comes... *grin*...

Wow Sy, if you get a real answer on this one, you will
be my new hero. I don't recall ever hearing an answer
from the great OM on this one.

....Honestly, it's been posted before. A LONG time ago. All someone has
to do is to search through google and do a little research. First one
who posts it here gets a Get Out Of Killfile Hell Free card, for use
when you finally **** me off and/or contract Guth's Syndrome or
"scott's" Dementia.

(Sy, I won't leave you hanging. I'll e-mail you the answer shortly. I
just want to see who's been paying attention all these years :-))

There's a later thread where Mookie goes a little off
the deep-end, but it's not as funny.

....Yeah, but if you get it from r.a.comics, you get that egotistical
maladroit, Thomas Young Galloway involved, and that tends to put me on
the warpath. Tyg's inarguably a very knowledgible person when it comes
to comic book history, but the problem is that he's let it go to his
head. The result is that he comes across as someone who not only
thinks his **** does not stink, but doesn't have any qualms about
rubbing it in your face to prove it, not to mention claiming that any
detection of a foul smell from said fecal matter is, without question,
proof positive of your ignorance and incompetence. To be totally
honest, if I had $10 for every person he's run off of usenet with his
jerkwad ego tripping, I'd be able to easily buy that wall of barebones
Dell boxes to do nothing but process SETI packes *and* pay the
electricity for at least three years.

20 years ago next year, I promised to introduce his face to this
baseball bat I had at the time with a railroad spike poking out the
end, just like you see in the funny papers. Maybe one day...

Now that's holding a grudge, with a tight grip.

That's what I keep promising myself about my sister's husband,
who sounds remarkably like the above. Fortunantly, he's on the
Florida east coast and I'm in the Pacific NorthWet. And may we
never meet again this side of Heaven...

Batting practice, anyone?

Aluminium bats are heresy enough
