Living sixty miles from the Test Site,and living in a City of 2 million people,and many with memories of the last 1992 fiasco at Mercury. Going to get damn interesting.

If haven't learned what we need to know by now we're not going to. It's kind of like people that say they had their butt probed when they were kidnapped by aliens. Wouldn't you think that aliens would have learned what they needed to know about the human ass by now?

He said that it takes the US about two years to complete nuclear tests from the day it's ordered by the President even when there is a COMPETENT Secretary of Energy. Hartmann had serious doubts that Sec Perry could complete the testing required by the President even if someone in the know at the DOE hand-walked him thru through the process...
