You know, Nick, it's a shame they let jerks like you run
around loose. You throw stones first, then ask questions.

Get some practical experience investigating space shuttle
disasters, Van Dorn. You're all blue sky and babble.

It's too late, Nick. You blew it. Start by stating your
credentials for judging my Challenger sacrifice.

Okay, let's start over. This thread is misnamed. Pappy
hasn't "set the record straight;" he helped set me up. He
and my lead attorney failed to file a False Claims case for
me as promised. They claimed they couldn't get their FOIA
requests (for film) filled by NASA at JSC. They told me to
request it *for* them from KSC. KSC refused. Then they
said they *had* to have an original frame for spectral analysis
of the flame at 59 seconds in order to file. Months later, into
the Bush administration in 1989, they eventually settled for a
"screening" session. In no way did that aid spectral analysis.

High-level officials at NASA wanted to keep their jobs.

It's not altogether another story, believe it or not.

I don't. Those are the same groups I've always posted to (with the
Mosley title). Don't attack me personally and you won't see that
abuse notice. Feel free to change this title (and groups) if you like.
