Earth -- they got off.��They are much more serious than we SubGenius amateurs have been about�getting our own ships built, and I wish a lot more of my hard earned�tax money could be devoted to THIS way of killing people, FOR GOOD�EXPERIMENTAL (and unknown Top Secret) REASONS, rather than some of the�other ways it's spent on.��Those pilots know better than anybody how dangerous it is, and they do�it anyway, perhaps because they'd rather die doing something than�talking about it. ��I'd rather just talk about that particular activity, myself. You won't�see me on a fucking motorcycle much less a Year 2003 Space Rocket.��Think of all the cool super-secret gizmos those astronauts got to fool�with while alive, though. Man. ��Hey, I just came up with a good paranoid scenario. The astronauts have�been instructed to dump this mysterious cargo into orbit. One of them�does some homework and discovers that it's a Doomsday Privacy-Erasing�Device that could easily be used by the Wrong Hands to enslave all�humanity under (FILL IN THE BLANK ACCORDING TO YOUR PARTICULAR CON�SCARECROW). The astronauts confer and decide not to activate the evil�device. But one of them is of course with Them, the big Them, and he�pulls a Death ray on the other astronauts. It's a stand-off. Then the�bwoman astronaut who he knocked out COMES TO just in time to clobber�him from behind. There's a DRAMATIC FIGHT aboard the shuttle as it's�coming in for a landing.��The good guys defeat the bad guy and have informed Mission Control that�they are coming in for a landing with BIG NEWS that will shock�everyone.��That's when They (in Washington or Langley) order the secret button�pushed that makes the shuttle explode on re-entry, just as if a heat�panel or something had been damaged during takeoff. (Which had fake�footage of standing by, in case of just this contingency!)��Hey, see, I'm just like a REAL conspiracy theorist now.�<P> <HR> <A HREF="Stang-2003.html">Back to document index</A><P> <EM>Original file name: Shuttle Explosion - converted on Monday, 21 July 2003, 13:44 </EM><P> <EM>This page was created using TextToHTML.
