Clarification

I feel Mircorp's actions amounted to theft. Tumlinson's support for Mircorp in general and lack of protest over those actions leave me with little regard for him but do not make him a theif, just a friend of theives. I do not know if Tumlinson played an active part in "diverting unused spacecraft".

I was extremely turned off by the SFF in general by the widesprtead excuse making among its members for Mircorp's action. No one I know of outside of SFF claimed the Soyuz had a limited shelf life on the ground. The frequently stated lifespan limit is for in orbit use as far as I can tell.

Regards,
Mark
