A political mission is one for symbolic purposes (like the first teacher in space) for which goal the ill-fated Challenger launch was pushed forward in too cold weather over the objections of Morton-Thiokol technicians (those who designed and built the exploding Solid Rocket Booster responsible for the crash.) My theory at the time was that, had the launch succeeded, there would have been some sort of split-screen salute during the gipper's State of the Union address to pioneer teacher/astronaut Christa McAuliffe. Reagan himself did not personally push the premature Challenger launch but the poor old guy was getting mighty nervous about having nobody for show-and-tell and having just swept 49 states to get re-elected with absolutely no election promise EXCEPT to put a teacher in space. His minions could not help noting their boss' urgent need to deliver on that promise. As Mr Hussein will surely soon point out, the Israeli Colonel chosen to go out into the cargo bay and "operate" that large camera (Israeli military technology being too primitive as to develop a remote shutter release) was involved in bombing the Iraqi research reactor and preemtively shutting down Saddam's nascent nuclear progam in the early 80's.

If so, why did the guy have to go out into the cargo bay to operate it? A camera could be operated by remote control . . . can't it? It's easier that way . . . isn't it? It could've been a conspiracy between bush and sharon - the ultra arab hating primeminister of israel. the phone booth sized one time only use camera supposedly preloaded with film in israel and to be brought back to isreal and its "film" developed to aid in the study of the "health effect of sand storms". . . ?! The spring loaded launching device to deploy a phonebooth sized satellite could also have contained a self-destruct device for the shuttle so that the entire shuttle crew would be sacrificed to forever eliminate the possibility that any one of them might have, sometime during his lifetime, reveal that the phonebooth sized device is still up in space, ready to drop who knows what on who knows where and who knows when. That might be bush's "solution" to North Korea. Bush has said "i loathe that man" The spring loaded launching device that remained in the shuttles cargo bay could have contained enough explosive to destroy the mission without even the knowledge of the zionaut who operated the launcher. Unlike pre internet space missions during which astronauts "phoned home" to their delighted families, personal space to ground communications have now been restricted to e-mails. There was never an opportunity for anybody on board to "phone home". in other words, prior censorship became possible. Its the most plausible explanation to be considered besides the shuttle just being too old. Let's hypothesize for a second that the phone booth sized device that was built in israel, taken up to space on board the space shuttle as supposedly a camera to study dust storms and to be brought back, like the worlds largest disposable camera Is it possible a satellite was secretly launched that was designed to drop who knows what on who knows where on who knows when with "no fingerprints". Such a satellite could not have been built in the united states. Both bush and sharon could not let anyone survive EVER to Tell the story that the phone booth sized camera was actually a satellite that was deployed. . . . . . to have the capability of dropping bombs from space which is STRICTLY prohibited by one treaty that bush does not want to break publicly. |
