My words.

I have to look at this from the state departments perspective. We know we have something lethal on that ship, but were going to bring it down anyway? What kind of danger are we exposing ourselves--- and the rest of the world--- to? Maybe no danger More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole at all, Bill Dodge responded. This transformers 2 release date

an Andromeda-strain scenario, Gerry. Or some X-file about an extraterrestrial plague that somehow invaded the shuttle. Whatever killed those people came from earth. But here, it obviously didnt have the lethal capacity. Take away the microgravity environment and the More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole damn thing dies. Youre willing to bet the country on that theory? Simon teacher appreciation week 2009

Or the planet? I think youre overreacting, Gerry. And I think your attitude is a little too cavalier! Ladies and gentlemen! The presidents words silenced the room. Debate, questions, comments, fine. But no arguing or backbiting. More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole We dont have the time. Does NASA have any reasonable expectation of determining what happened up there? the national fta files

adviser asked. The president shook his head. I asked Harry Landon that same question. The answer is no. Although the survivor, Dylan Reed, is a medical doctor, he More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole doesnt have the time, facilities, or help to conduct any kind of meaningful investigation. We have a general description of the bodies condition, but the hills have eyes

not enough to determine the cause of death. He looked around the room. There is one thing I can say for sure: More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole Harry Landon does not believe that theres even a consideration of destroying the shuttle. Therefore, neither he nor anyone from NASA can be permitted into our discussions. Having said that, the hills have eyes

since youve all had a chance to examine the facts as we know them, we More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole need to take a preliminary vote. Bill, well start with you: salvage or abort? Salvage. Marti? Abort. Gerry? Abort. As the president steepled his fingers, Bill Dodge spoke up. Sir, I can understand why my colleagues voted the way they did. But we alan tudyk

lose sight of the fact that we have a More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole survivor up there. No ones losing sight of that, Bill, Marti Nesbitt started to say. Let me finish, Marti. I believe I have a solution. Dodge turned to the group. As youre all aware, I wear a couple of hats, one of them being transformers 2 release date

codirector of the More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole Space Security Division. Prior to his tragic accident, Frank Richardson shared that responsibility. Now weve anticipated that at some point in time, a biological incident--- if thats what occurred--- might take place onboard a manned or unmanned flight. We looked specifically at the shuttle and More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole engineered a special facility earthquake may 1 2009

just such a contingency. And where would this facility be? Gerald Simon asked. At our flight-testing range at Groome Lake, sixty miles northeast of Las Vegas. What are we talking about exactly? the president asked. Dodge produced a videocassette from his briefcase. Its best you More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole all see for yourselves. He inserted the tape into the VCR earthquake may 1 2009

the high-definition television monitor and pressed the play button. After a flurry of snow, an image of the desert came into sharp focus. Doesnt look like much of anything, the national security adviser commented. Intentionally so, Dodge More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole replied. We borrowed the idea from the Israelis. Given its terrain, Israel has few places to earthquake may 1 2009

its strike aircraft. So they built a series of underground bunkers, with runways that dont look like runways--- and have a unique feature. On the screen, what appeared to be More Page More Page More Page More Page Christopher Poole desert floor began to tilt down at a gradually increasing angle. Dodge froze the frame. This is where the runway appears to end. transformers 2 release date

underneath is a system of hydraulic jacks. The runway actually.
