Gov't does it again

[Jim Muckerheide <jmuckerheide@delphi.com>]

This is from today's NYT re the Cassini flyby:

NASA counters that its projections indicate the chance of such an
accident
is less than one in one million and, if one did occur, only a small
fraction of
the released plutonium would end up in humans, adding a couple of
hundred cancer deaths to the thousands that normally occur worldwide.

We have met the enemy, and its not NBC.
