On the other hand, Skylab has been in central Australia since 1979, while the
Mir ("Land", NOT "Peace") is a few hundred miles above it.  It ain't what you
done, it's what you done LATELY that counts!

(You all should have heard Stine and Pournelle at NASFIC in Phoenix, couple of

that is) and saying now what they shoulda said then:  a stupid government
project, a spaceship built by committee...)
