General: Who knows what he would say to the press. Can you imagine the panic he will create?

These people seem to think that I want to know that they are stealing my privacy. Freaking world of psychos. I am the only person in this world that can sit alone in a room and still be surrounded by all you psychos.
The lug bolt memory must be representative of the uplock rollers. The heat from reentry melted one or more of them and I had to use a crow bar or some metal rod to break them off so the landing cover could extract. But how could I have done that?

I wonder if this was actually me they found a couple miles from the touchdown point:
Title: The right-hand main gear uplock roller split into several pieces and fell to the runway during gear deployment. (ORB)
Summary: DISCUSSION: The hardened uplock roller sleeve around the right main gear uplock roller split sometime during use and was found 1.54 miles prior to the touchdown point.
I just wish I could remember so I will know what all this means!!!!!
What the hell is a "uplock roller" for the landing gear? Is that what locks the gear into place after it retracts?

The components exhibited varying degrees of thermal effects, and the M&P team was tasked to evaluate the significance of the damage and its possible relation to the breakup. These components included the midbody panel, uplock roller, main landing gear (MLG) strut, left wing carrier panel fasteners, and left wing tiles. A cross section of the orbiter's left wing is shown in Figure 2.

Main Landing Gear Door Uplock Roller The M&P team evaluated additional landing gear door and wheel well hardware believed to be relevant to the investigation. One of four left landing gear uplock rollers (Figure 4) was recovered

For the past several hours, I have been examining my memory for anything that could represent me falling out of the Columbia as it landed during STS-1, assuming that something such as that did occur to me.
So then I started thinking: how fast is the shuttle moving when it lands?
Then I looked it up. According to this information on the atmospheric free flight, it landed at 213 mph. How the hell could I have survived falling something like 75 feet to the ground at over 200 mph?
If I did fall out, I must have been high enough to open my parachute. That is, if that even happened to me. It drives me crazy not knowing. I don't know what I don't know.

Dwight D. Eisenhower
34th President of the United States: 1953 ‐ 1961
Statement by the President Requesting Reports to the FBI of Violations of the Atomic Energy Act.
December 15, 1953
ON SEPTEMBER 6, 1939, January 8, 1943, and July 24, 1950, Presidential Directives were issued requesting all enforcement officers, both Federal and state, to report promptly all information relating to espionage, sabotage, subversive activities and related matters to the nearest field representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is charged with investigating all violations of the Atomic Energy Act, including the illegal export or import of fissionable material, the illegal possession or transportation of fissionable material and the illegal production, transfer, or possession of any equipment or device utilizing fissionable material or atomic energy as a military weapon.."Fissionable material" means plutonium, uranium-235 or other material which the Atomic Energy Commission has determined to be capable of releasing substantial quantities of energy through nuclear chain reaction. I am requesting that all enforcement officers, both Federal and state, report all information relating to violations of the Atomic Energy Act to the nearest field representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
I suggest that all patriotic organizations and individuals likewise report all such information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the same manner.
