An open note to NASA.

YOU'RE BUSTED

The least you could do when you tell us one of your toy's is broken [the SOHO spacecraft] and no one can see or play with it for 19 days or so, is not to use it in your own backyard where we can publicly hear you playing with your toys. NASA -- if you tell us your toy is broken and we can't use it, then it means that you can't use it either, unless of course you are lying to us and your toy is not really broken, which at this point I firmly believe is the case.

NASA PLAN'S ON USING SOHO ON JUNE 29 & 30 AFTER TELLING THE WORLD IT IS BROKEN FOR AT LEAST 19 DAYS!

I can hardly wait to hear the slick lie NASA will come up with to cover their arses this time around, or how long it will take them to kill the URL I posted here.

NASA = Never A Straight Answer
