New Revelations Concerning Columbia Accident
3 February 2003 |
|||||||||
Recent disclosures on National Public Radio indicate that there were radioactive sources on board the space shuttle Columbia. Sherrif Thomas Kerss from Nacogdoches, Texas told NPR
tonight, "There was radioactive material on board" and that retrieval operations would be testing debris for radioactivity. On Monday, February 3, the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space will issue a Freedom of Information Request to NASA. We will seek full discolsure of the
type, the amount, and the purpose of radioactive material on board Columbia. The Global Network also is deeply concerned about the independence of the commission NASA appointed to investigate this accident. It is dominated by retired
military and aerospace industry executives with vested interests in the outcome.
