andthe

This note is not intended to be cynical, but I ponder, in view of
the scattered views on blobs and balloons in spacecraft, just
what the considered response of the readership would be?
For myself: I can see that if the draft-proofing were all but
spins.the flame would still move in a particular way when the rotor
