If I lived in Oregon near this site I would be very concerned. I hope that these people receive accurate information about the safety of the disposal of these weapons.
Yes, this is the report, thank you for getting it for us.
Anyone who messes with baby food, deserves to die.
I will volunteer to help him die.
Holy crap indeed....729 people and no accurate diagnosis as of yet!!! Sounds like some third-world, rain forest mutated disease to me. But the NASA physician connection is a little disturbing....new medical discovery...ummm I for one would not like to be one of the 729 on the forefront of this discovery...
I know the tiles were made to blame. But what bothers me is there was also hacking in August 2002, a few months before Columbia took off in February 2003. If information can be downloaded....information can also be uploaded.
I have also been seeing a lot of information out on the Net about Electronic Warfare.
So this is just poking at me.
NASA Investigating Computer Data Breach
By Jay Lyman
NewsFactor Network
August 9, 2002 4:41PM
The information breach reportedly revealed detailed drawings and design data on a relaunchable space vehicle. These details are restricted for military reasons.
NASA investigators are looking into how sensitive information on next-generation launch vehicles was disclosed.
Officials would not confirm whether the space agency's computer systems had actually been penetrated, but did tell NewsFactor that the materials -- which reportedly included contractor data on a next-generation, reusable space vehicle -- were stored on a closed database.
"That would be very difficult to do," NASA spokesperson Bob Jacobs said of accessing the information. "We have multiple levels of security."
Hacked or Not?
Still, Jacobs confirmed that the information that reportedly came from a hacker did, in fact, include details of a next-generation launch vehicle.
"At this point, all we have confirmed is that the information is sensitive and is part of a closed database," Jacobs told NewsFactor. "It is not posted on the Web and it is not accessible to the public."
Jacobs said that NASA investigators were looking into how the information was exposed. While he said the agency would not comment on any material obtained illegally, he did say that the breach was not necessarily a hack.
"Although we got information from a hacker, it doesn't mean a hacker got into NASA systems to get it," Jacobs said. "People shouldn't be quick to assume hacking is how it was done, especially if it's a closed database."
Reusable Space Ship
Jacobs said the materials in question -- considered sensitive information -- centered on a second-generation launch vehicle. NASA inspector general Paul Shawcross told NewsFactor that his office is investigating the matter, but would not comment further.
Reports on the information breach indicate that it revealed detailed drawings and design data on a relaunchable space vehicle. These details are restricted for military, regulatory and competitive reasons. The documents reportedly came from government contracting companies such as Boeing , Aerojet and Pratt & Whitney.
Treason to Teens
While he called NASA a secure facility with "a very secure IT infrastructure," Jacobs said that the national space agency publishes more than four million public Web pages.
"NASA takes any intrusion into its IT infrastructure seriously, whether it's corporate espionage or a teenager with a phone modem," Jacobs said.
Jacobs said NASA's IT infrastructure -- spread across 10 field centers -- is protected by "multiple redundant systems that monitor access to all systems."
Spacious Target
NASA, like other U.S. government agencies, is a favorite target of hackers seeking to deface Internet sites or gain access to prove their skills.
For example, five teenagers were arrested in Israel this week and charged with unleashing the Goner virus, which damaged computers around the world, including some belonging to NASA.
Commenting on the rise in computer cracking and malicious attacks, such as powerful denial of service attacks that can bring down commerce-level servers, NASA computer crime investigator Stephen Nesbitt told NewsFactor, "They continue, but the methodologies for mitigating them have improved."

I have talked to a Chinese friend at work...he says that China has been threatening Taiwan every election for decades...
Ok. I will buy that. I don't have the background on the tech stuff anyway. I think you know more about that than I do.
I do not and have not ever believed in any type of psychic predictions. Always have been a realist but.....a friend of mine knows how much I'm into this threat matrix stuff and sent me an interesting link. Have you ever heard of this person and what do you think about her predictions? Scroll down to the list of 3 things she predicts will happen.

Cal,
It looks like you have the 'rest of the story' here.
I am digging deep in "I wasn't paying attention/not that interested" thoughts for what I heard about the two things we have on Mars.
as I recall when the first one landed, it wasn't working correctly and for a time it looked like a wasted trip.
Then NASA kept reloading the program, seems there was a flaw, I recall thinking to myself that it had been hacked.
As i recall they would ask it to do something and it would do something else.
They took the time to upload a computer program and got it to working again.
So yes, I can accept that hackers are responsible for the Columbia crash. The hackers would explain why the watch was on to wave off the ship, as there was a terrorist threat, it was clearly reported on the news at maybe 1 am and 2 am, then I waited to hear more and it was off the news.
With the limited years that I have left, space exploration does not excite me, they won't learn anything that will affect my remaining lifetime.
As usual, you are good at finding the 'rest of the story', we have missed you.
Never heard of her. I will do some searches to see if I can get more info on her after I'm done with my power point slides.
The following is my opinion RE: Madam Cleo St Catherine
1. A bombing [No, really????]
2. There will be some troops in one country that will be withdrawn because they will be needed in another country to stop a sore that has become a boil which must be lanced. So the soldiers will go there [already happened before her prediction was made; troops moved from S Korea to Iraq]
3.Evidence of military traitors [already happened]
====
She dates these 5-16-2004.
Unless I'm missing something here, they have already happened. Is she betting some don't watch the news?
[I do not believe in self-appointed prognosticators. I believe we can see visions of the future *that God allows us to see* but I believe it is sporadic and can not be controlled by ourselves consciously, nor do I believe we have the power to discern whether or not what we saw really was the future or something else. Only God really knows.]
Try posting that link again MnC
Never mind. it is working now.
Neither do I. I just found it interesting -- her take on a bombing happening in a country close to ours in the next 3 months and thought of the recent threats to Canada.
They have been reported in several countries, quiet a show.
"madam cleo" is one of the most ingeniously depeptive liers around. . .Any fortune telling or predicting the future is a sham. Always has been and always will be.
I'm a sceptic if you cant tell. She wont be getting any of my money. . . but thats just my opinion. . .
