      Big money had nothing to do with the Challenger explosion, it was unseasonably cold weather that deteriorated the O-rings.

                Yup, that browser-not-to-be-named only lived for 1 minute on this machine. CP menu was all screwed up and that did for me :-\

                                  Apparently you did not read the report on the Challenger disaster. It was found that the people with the purse strings ignored the scientists who said the rings would fail in the cold weather; this information was suppressed by their supervisors. And as far as the senseless babbling, I know my facts. Do you?
