No story, just interested in the subject. Find it hard to believe that weather balloons that were really carrying instruments to study nuclear tests would also just happen to be carrying crash test dummies.
No sweat.
Just wear a thick skin on FR. There seems to be a bunch of naysayers in the employ of the government hereon. Their personalities are mostly all of the extremely disagreeable sort one would tend to prefer sitting on the other side of the room from. Their derisiveness is Olympic class intensity. Their demeaning personal assaults are ruthlessly and reflexively tossed out in response to the least whiff of the topic crossing their consciousness.
And, sadly, the mods either covertly applaud or look the other way.
I suppose we could have a serious conversation by FREEPMAIL. Otherwise, it takes some courage and persistence and a lot of ignoring of the naysayers.
