Correspondence between Larry Evans, President, Orange County Space Society, and Russell Hoffman -- October, 2000

Larry Evans
President
Orange County Space Society
Mr. Evans:
I don't know what your qualifications are for discussing radiation in space.
I do know mine, and I can say without fear of contradiction that anyone that
allows the Government or any Government Contractor to put one gram of
Plutonium in space w/o the approval of the entire Nuclear Community is a damn
fool.
The Plutonium is bad enough, but to allow those corporations and agencies to
do it that are never held responsible for their actions is downright
irresponsible.
The Government has contaminated all of the Northern Hemisphere with untold
levels of radiation, have caused millions of cancers, as well as other
diseases, and have yet to be held accountable for any of their actions.
We still live with this nonsense that the "King" cannot be sued and neither
can the remainder of the Corporate Criminals [the princes of the church]
I assure you I don't live with my head in the sand. I have read and studied
more about our government then anyone I know and what I know frightens me to
death.
