Mass Murder or Utter Stupidity / Chap. 6 p. 53
out to be President G. Bush Sr.'s last chance to stack the Supreme Court for the Moral
Majority. What apparently no one wanted to understand was that she wasn't testifying for
revenge. His actions didn't warrant revenge. She spoke out because of his hypocrisy. At the
time of the incidents described by Ms. Hill, Thomas was the head of a federal bureaucracy
charged with stamping out sexual harassment.
Along with the few honest good guys on any government committee, who always seem
to be trying hard to discover the truth, there are always a couple of truth stoppers and their
cohorts, the obfuscators. When any witness dares to try to tell them what they don't want to
hear the obfuscators pipe up with a flurry of verbal left jabs to keep them off balance until
the truth stoppers can finish them off.
At the beginning of the Mercury Program, NASA tests on pure oxygen proved that the
safe pressure limit for breathing was between 2.9 and 6.67 psi. They also concluded that
pressures "outside these limits would cause severe, if not permanent damage." 35 In plain
English, murder begins at 6.7 psi!
Kennan & Harvey have this to say about the fatal test on the capsule: "The day of the
plugs-out test, the TV camera inside the space-craft, which was an important piece of flight
and test equipment, was absent; its retaining brackets had somehow been bent during
installation." 36
These authors never called it murder, but they continued with this statement: "It is of the
greatest significance that the fire extinguishers were located in that (008) spacecraft during
its testing. Not only were fire extinguishers included but fire resistant teflon sheets were
draped over wire bundles and the astronaut's couches. These particular items, non flight
items, were conspicuously absent in command module 012 during the fatal plugs-out test on
January 27, 1967." 37
They also summed up the test with these statements.
"It was the first and only use of the new three piece hatch."
"It was the first plugs-out test in which as many as three hatches were closed on a crew in an
oxygen atmosphere at a pressure of sixteen pounds per square inch, ..."
"It was the first occasion of the Apollo emergency escape drill under all-out pre-launch
conditions."
"It was the first occasion when certain non flight flammable materials, such as two foam
rubber cushions - were placed in the cockpit." 38
Later NASA would rule out the use of any material which could be ignited by spark at
400 degree F in pure oxygen at 16.7 PSI. 39 "They included the couch padding, to which
astronaut White's body was welded by the heat: this, it emerged, could be ignited by a spark
at 250 F." 40 Notice they still had every intention of using 16.7 psi oxygen. Or was it 20.2
psi
