(Please excuse the mild sarcasm :-)

Since the scientific proof obviously does not exist to back up my
statement, I retract my entire statement.  Plutonium is completely
harmless, and there would be no additional danger in having the shuttle
carrying the Galileo and Ulysses probes explode over the present
explosion.  In fact, a plan has been developed to introduce plutonium
into children's breakfast cereal as a replacement for sugar.

After all, we've been doing this stuff for years and nobody can prove
that anybody has ever died from it.  Therefore, it must not be harmful.

Sincerely,

Brett Slocum
