Just before a Congressional hearing in which a NASA bureaucrat was overheard calling me “The Enemy” as I had maxed out my credit cards and lost a relationship to fight them while they flew in and were accommodated on my tax dollars.
The authorities most in need of the truth aren’t permitted to talk to those with a proven track record where it mattered most in the past. And anyway, isn’t it cheating to notice obvious things you aren’t supposed to and, worse, talk about them?
That’s just not FAIR.
So they weren’t really all that smart. They were just immoral. You shouldn’t be talking to moral pariahs.
You might get bad ideas like noticing things you aren’t supposed to and end up like THEM… with no authority.
I could have sworn Truax’s office was across the street from Packard’s, in one of the airport buildings, but the only address I can find for his Carlsbad business was down the road a ways in a residential district:
When I found that a counterfactual history of the space race included Truax’s Seadragon I pestered my brother into permitting me to watch the series “For All Mankind” (Apple production and I won’t subscribe) to see how they treated Truax.
We hadn’t counted on quite the degree of psychological abuse they’d inflict on their audience. I relented. We just went for the only episode where the fandom sites said anything about the Seadragon. It turned out to be after the end of the credits on the last episode of season 1. But Apple made it impossible to watch without having the “message” of the series inflicted on us. Fast forwarding into the credits marks that episode as having already been watched. It will just stop and go to the next episode. So you have to stop short of the credits and let their sewer main gush out of the tube at you.
