I don't suppose NASA has contingency plans to spray the environmentalists with a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen should they illegally break into Kennedy and interfere with Discovery? While you are at it, get the press who encouraged the whole thing for the sake of news. (Don't laugh - there is precidence. Recently some protestors broke onto a National Guard airbase up here in Minnesota. The guard shot them with water cannons. Liquid gas can't be *that* much colder than Minnesota river water in deep winter... And it is basically water that you'd be spraying...) :) :)

"Hey Bill, here come some of those pesky 'Save the Earth' people, let's blast 'm "Excuse me, gentlemen, Harry Sandburn for the NY Times. I was wondering if you could explain to me what exactly you are using to propel these protesters away -- and why they're turning blue." "Bill, my God, we haven't combined these elements yet.... Gosh, Harry, I was wondering.... I mean, maybe you could just carry this here portable GAS FURNACE over to those poor souls, and we'll just make that stuff turn into harmless ole water. Whattdya say?" Please see disclaimer.... And now back to more intelligent, well-thought arguments.
