I heard it was a 200 foot likeness of Elvis that attacked the shuttle. He fogged up the windows and started singing Jail House Rock until the shuttle commander used the Canadian arm to hit him on the nose. What do you have to say about that, Stuart? ------------------------------ Date: 29 Apr 89 04:59:39 GMT From: jpl-devvax!lwall@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov (Larry Wall) Subject: Re: SETI: Where and when to look In article <1799@blake.acs.washington.edu> wiml@blake.acs.washington.edu (William Lewis) writes: : How about exploding fusion bombs?

Getting more powerful, we could make lots of antimatter (that's : the hard part =8) ) and annihilate it in a binary type transmission. Why are you making it so difficult?

Not if the US government is doing it. Remember the price tag for Apollo? Double it. Or worse. And it will take longer, too. Of course, if you used Proton launches to put the hardware into orbit, and had it built by non-aerospace companies, you could be right.
