Pegasus exploded on impact with the celestial dome, instantly killing
all 25 midges on board.  The supersecret SDI payload disintegrated and
reentered over New York State; one large fragment impacted near Ithaca,
demolishing Carl Sagan's house.  The Air Force declined comment other
than saying "the mission achieved all major objectives."

And by the way, it's spelled Vayqume.  Don't they teach college kids
anything these days?
