There is a good tone of conspiracy in the paper, but I am not in a position to side in defense of Washington bureaucrats or Lubkin. It was the attempt to correct the sidethrust, which sent the Challenger into violent oscillations. This latter is probably false, but we will not really know. I take some offense at you calling the Challenger a weapon, and I know several thousand others who would, too. I recommend including a surface mail address with requests for registration info.
Registration is still open.
Please let me know if this causes any troubles.
