Nothing really new in there, but a detailed and well-written story.
Besides: Pat, I really think you should write more and not only here.
When I read space and cold-war related things I always think that you
could've done it better and funnier. Really.

The illustrations certainly didn't help readers understand much about it.
There is a fair amount of info on it out on the web, including this page
that has photos of it in a Soviet Air Force paint scheme with red stars
on it: http://www.buran.ru/htm/cargo.htm

I have written a strongly worded email to comrade D. Day regarding the
lack of new information in the article, though as yet I have not accused
him of being a Trotskyite wrecker, though he may well be.
I have not written an email to comrade R. Kennedy III, as that family
has experienced enough tragedy over the years without the hard slap of
my literary criticism across its face, striking with the painful force
of a bowl of boiling clam chowder.

You should be so worried about who really killed JFK.

I checked it out but didn't go any further. Some things really aren't
funny when spoofed.
I'm not going to go ballistic or get into a First Amendment debate.
But I do wonder what
he and his ilk would think about a John Hinkley game with better
shooting of Reagan.
