My girlfriend asked me: why didn't they have a remote camera which could go
out and have a look? Some of this extropian stuff must be rubbing off on
her.

We were both shocked when the tv reports stated no astronaut had any actual
experience spacewalking. One commentator said they had no way of
spacewalking to the damaged area without damaging the tiles. Guess they
don't always take those EVA units.

Did anyone see that drawing the Israeli had with him, by the concentration
camp victim - the Jewish child (who had died) had drawn a sort of sf scene
with spaceships and stars. They showed the artwork on tv.
