And everyone with a rowboat or an innertube will be trying to get to the landing site... like all those folks in kayaks in McCovey Cove trying to get Splash Hits when Bonds still played for the S.F. Giants. Someone opens the hatch, crawls inside to get the mil and everyone else trying to clamber aboard brings the lower edge of the hatch below sea-level. Then either one has a new ending for "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" or a field day for lawyers everywhere - or both. rick jones -- Process shall set you free from the need for rational thought. these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... |

OTOH, what a great plot for a James Bond movie. Capsule goes up with $1M, comes down successfully, open hatch ceremony reveals... Envelope containing letter of thanks from SPECTRE!

If they can pull everything they intend on this flight successfully it will really be something to see. They certainly are ambitious with their testing timeline. Pat |
