Jim,

I've met Bruce Gagnon and he's a very sincere, idealistic person.

Bruce has perfectly rational objections about launching plutonium in
rockets. That would make a decent terrorist weapon -- blow up the Space
Shuttle when it is a few miles in the air, with a large amount of plutonium
on board. There would be plenty of radioactive debris coming back down to
propagate lots of healthy cancer cells for a few generations.

btw his website is:

http://www.space4peace.org/

This is a great site to give an alternative perspective on space exploration
and space cooperation. Space policy shouldn't take place in a vacuum.
