Could someone be so kind as to send me some scientific
information on the effect of shuttle launches on the ozone
layer? My son, whose mom works for NASA, usually wears his
shuttle tee shirt with great pride. But last week a bunch
of his environmentalist teachers gave him a lecture on
how the shuttle was "destroying the ozone layer" and how
he should tell mom to switch to liquid rocket fuel.
One even sent home a letter to Barbara Bush, stating that
the shuttle destroys 5% of the ozone layer on every launch.

If someone could be kind enough to send me some facts about
this situation, you could help make my son feel a whole
lot better. I don't want to discuss the matter with the
teachers untill I know at least a little of what I'm
talking about.

Thanks--Jon Cohen
