A story every Navy nuke knows.
Rumor around Rickover Hall was that the excursion was deliberate — some sort of revenge. Did anyone ever figure ut just what the hell happened at SL-1?

Wikipedia’s description fits pretty well with what I remember. The thing they don’t mention is that Rickover used the incident to make sure that no one in the military but the Navy ever ran a reactor again.

Elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas .
Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, ‘Notice anything different about me?’
Margaret looked him over. ‘Nope.’
Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots.
Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time,
‘Notice anything different NOW?’
Margaret looked up and exclaimed, ‘Bert, what’s different?
It’s hanging down today, it was hanging down
yesterday, it’ll be hanging down again tomorrow!’
Furious, Bert yelled,
‘AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT’S HANGING DOWN,
MARGARET?’
‘Nope’, she replied.
‘IT’S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT’S LOOKING
AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!’
Without changing her expression,
Margaret replied, ‘Shoulda bought a hat, Bert.
Shoulda bought a hat.

"[Ted] Kennedy left the scene of a fatal accident for which he was at least partly responsible. Then he used his extraordinary power to get off, spending the rest of his career in pseudo-remorse, playing the most liberal of Senators. It was always an act to me, even when I agreed with him politically. This was not a life well lived." ~ author and screenwriter Roger L. Simon Want to read a REAL silly defense of Ted Kennedy?
Q: What Would Mary Jo Kopechne Have Thought of Ted's Career? (revulsion alert) (Huffington Post quote via National Review online)
We don't know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she'd have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don't know, as always, could fill a Metrodome. Still, ignorance doesn't preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn't automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted's death, and what she'd have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded.
Who knows maybe she'd feel it was worth it.
Kind of like Casper the Friendly Ghost. Somewhere there is Casper the dead little boy.
