There would be a lot more red faces if one of these babies blew up than there were over a few humans getting blown up on Challenger. Can you say "world wide atmospheric contamination"?

Not to lend any support to pseudo-science, but an interesting thing to look at in this respect is the police blotter of any large urban area on the night of a full moon. I have heard the same story from several police officers here in Pittsburgh - craaazy things happen when there's a full moon, not just your run-of-the-mill stabbings and domestic violence, but the truly bizzarre. Of course, this is probably purely subjective - people see a full moon and all their inhibitions go out the window, but an interesting phenomenon nonetheless. -- Jim Benz jcbst3@unix.cis.pittsburgh.edu If a modem University of Pittsburgh answers, UCIR (412) 648-5930 hang up! ------------------------------ End of SPACE Digest V9 #351 *******************
