Hmm. You were talking about DVDs elsewhere. Rent Apollo 13 recently?
Lovell didn't muscle that bird to the ground.

I own the Apollo 13 DVD.

I have personal issues with that Apollo mission that I'm not going to
air on usenet. People would most likely make nasty accusations that I am
not prepared to deal with at this time.

You have "personal" issues with Apollo 13?

My parents worked at TRW during the Apollo missions.

Your parents screwed with Lovell's credit rating?


That's pretty weird.

Not when your parental units both worked in the Aerospace industry. ;-)


A few years ago, I posted some passing remark about the Apollo 1 fire that
killed three astronauts, including Gus Grissom. Somehow it was noticed by
Grissom's son, Scott, who is a loon in the tradition of Mr Hankey, and
responded with a amazing set of schizophrenic conspiracy nutjob comments.

That was pretty weird, and sad, too.

My father listened to them die...
He was there.

He said the cleanup was gruesome.
The ship became a giant pressure cooker.

The fire was hot enough to denature proteins, so they weren't very good eating.
