Anyone trying to assess the relative merits of NASA's explanation of 51L
and Ali AbuTaha's version should read AbuTaha's article in the May (?)
(I know it was recent but don't have the issue handy to verify the date)
issue of Spaceflight.  Can you say "incoherent"?  Conceivably it might
have been mangled after it left his hands, but I'd be surprised.  My
opinion of him dropped quite a bit when I saw that.  His ideas do deserve
a look, but don't assume that because he's the underdog, he's automatically
right.
