PBS just rebroadcast footage of Voyager I's Saturn encounter, and the first scene was the blastoff. It looked just like the ship was attached to two SRB's and an external tank (from the vantage point they showed)! Not only that (and this may be a bit silly), but the sound and smoke/flame trail sounded and looked to me just like the shuttle blasting off! Am I hallucinating? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
