"NASA Watch" gets really ****ed off.
http://www.nasawatch.com/archives/20...s_ow.html#more
That damn woman...that damn _Bush_ woman. This could destroy the entire impeccable tradition of the NASA PAO having no political agenda whatsoever. :-D Meanwhile, back on the ISS, the Mir glycol cooling system spill gets repeated with freon: http://www.nasawatch.com/archives/20...pill.html#more Uh...excuse me... but wasn't freon supposed to be a no-no due to depletion of the ozonosphere long before they started building the ISS? Like someone having a scrimshawed sperm whale tooth from before the whaling ban, I have my unused firefighting bottle of liquefied Halon 1301/1211 gas from 1988 sitting on the shelf next to my desk....Serial Number M-416760. Like Professor Chaos and General Disarray from South Park, I hold this over _ONE POUND_ of pure Halon above the world's head as a perpetual threat. One wrong move and you all die of third degree sunburn, cataracts, and skin cancer! But, of course... that doesn't need happen, does it? In fact, if $30.00 in small unmarked bills were given to me, this threat to all life could leave my hands, and the world be safe again. So think about it. ....okay, $25.00 dollars in a pinch... but that must be in _gold_...deposited to a numbered Swiss bank account. :-) Pat |

Probably wouldn't work anymore, Pat. 20 years is a long time to store anything, let alone a liquified gas. What does the guage say (in the red, probably)? |

No red bush jokes please. Thanks! Out of curiosity, would NASA have "shields" between real people and politicial appointees ? I don't think she's a political appointee anymore, she's graduated to bureaucratic ladder climber. They give courses for that at your local bible college, if you're interested. The babes there are hot, trust me. Will this new political appointee have the respect of the real NASA employees ? Will she just be left in her corner, isolated from real operational decisions and just fed the cushy public PR stuff one expects a politician to have ? No, just a cushy job where she feels important and can hone her ladder climbing skills. I don't think she'll go 'Marsha Ivins' on us, at least one can hope not. I don't think she's astronaut material, but she may very well be able to **** her way to the top. Shirley government organisations that do real stuff must, over time, have developped structures/culture that can widthdand musical chair games of political appointees without experience specific to that job ? Real stuff? Sure, at the lowest level there are volunteers and students. They do real stuff. Shirley and Fred, surely you must know them. |

NASA Watch has bitched and whined itself into irrelevance. Nothing to see here, move along... Brian |

It's quite small (8" tall by 2" diameter). I assume they used some sort of sealant on the valve. Shake it, and you can feel the Halon moving around inside. The Halon appears to be within two inches of the top. IIRC, that's about where it was when I bought it. Pat |

Which brings up a interesting question... when the ISS is decommissioned, what exactly happens to it? Does it do a Mir-style dive into the South Pacific? That would be some fireworks show. Pat |

Best thing that could happen right about now is for some h@kk3r to go replace the entire site with a picture of a middle finger and an advisory for Keith to shut the **** up and go away. He's worn out his welcome long ago.
