But, but, but the Israeli Payload Specialist, the Colonel in the IDF
who was on the bombing mission to take out the Osirak reactor in Iraq
in 1981, certainly was not involved with any kind of surveillance
satellite work!
His sole duty was to investigate the effects of gamma rays on
man-in-the-moon marigolds.
That's NASA's story...and they're sticking to it.
"Pay no attention to the Israeli Defense Forces spy behind the DOD
curtain!"
(Several times in the past we have only been told long after the fact
that what had been billed as a "scientific mission" by NSA, er, NASA,
was actually a military mission. Given that missions are very, very
expensive and usually have somewhat-justifiable mission goals, the fact
that this mission had no publically-disclosed goals except "science
fair projects" suggests strongly why the Israeli pilot was on this
particular mission. And Pakistan may be wondering what the Indian woman
was doing.)
