    It's even better when the screenshots are of a *different game*! Don't forget about the "Board Games" title with a screenshot of a trek game on the back. It's even better when they forgot to put the picture on -- leaving nothing but a filled green box. (Castle of the Winds)

    TMI killed or injured no one, but do you have any idea how close we came to containment rupture? If the explosion pressure was twice what it was, the design limits for the dome would have been exceeded. This could have easily resulted in a cracked containment dome. (President's Commission on TMI, Hearings 30 May 1979) And, then there's the guillotine effects that flying missiles from the explosion could have caused. We have very little experience in the operation of large reactors, compared to any other large industry. I'm not going to flee the country becaues of the possibilty of a nuclear disaster, but I think that "Nuclear energy is 99.9% safe; a meltdown could never happen here, etc." is a myth.

    Fourth, would the American people actually want to pay for such a thing? There's never enough money to do everything that we want, and space isn't large enough of a priority in anyone's mind to spend billions on one mission!

    That happened to me. They replaced it with another 75GXP. The label indicates a new drive, but I don't WANT another failure-prone drive!
