NASA Press Release
APL press release Space.com Article Coming up... October: communications checks November: hydrazine loading and Atlas V countdown rehearsal December: integration with Atlas V January: LAUNCH! No pictures on the KSC webcams yet. But still pictures here. Is that the flight RTG attached to the spacecraft? Or just a dummy? |

"... I distinctly remember seeing and hearing a women in a news report leading upto the launch saying they 'had embarked on a campaign on misinformation' to get NASA's attention. How can you expect people to make a decision on an issue when they're being lied to? As much as I support environmental concerns and issues, enviromental groups are notoriously loose with scientific facts - thanks in part to the public's disinterest and ignorance of science."
Unfortunately, they are hardly alone in that regard. It was Dean Acheson -- remembered as being one of the more enlightened Secretaries of State -- who said that the government frequently has the obligation to make things "clearer than the truth" to the voters in order to get their support for its Enlightened Policies. |
