Discovery is falling apart on the Pad

I can see the launch from by balcony on a clear day
Tomorrow I'll be watching with my stomach in the my throat~

I live south of there. You can see the shuttle plume from as far
south as Miami.

And some of its exhaust ends up clean down in Antarctica in fairly short
order:

The damned Amish! They are in league with my state's Hutterites, I tell you!
Actually, the Antarctic thing made me think- when the Shuttle ascends
its SSMEs generate water vapor and nitrates due to their heat. The plume
knocks a hole in the ozonosphere. now we know that Shuttle exhaust
product migrate down to the South Pole in fairly short order after a
Shuttle launch.
Has anyone correlated the Antarctic ozone hole against Shuttle launches?
Since we haven't had any in a couple of years, you might now have a
control sample to use.
I note in this chart
http://www.atm.ch.cam.ac.uk/tour/tou...al_ozone.s.gif
.....that there is an increase in ozone levels that corresponds to the
grounding of the Shuttle after Challenger.
There's year-by-year data on the ozone hole here BTW if anyone wants to
take a crack at it: http://www.theozonehole.com/
