If memory serves me no space agency of any description has, or appeared to have, any rescue agenda in place at anytime. What has happened in the past was all cobbled together in situ with a lot of prayers. Wasn't it Arthur C Clark who established, in about the late 40's early 50's, a rescue agenda that was laughed at, at that time. Neither Russians nor NASA have seemed to want to spend money on this, recalls to mind sub rescue operations in deep water. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
