Talk:Cosmos 954

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The reason why the USSR was able to pay so little is the fact that Canada secretly invited the CIA and jointly they conducted technical espionage on the wrecks, instead of clean-up. A local newspaper got the tip and they publicly uncovered the clandestine operation. There was a huge uproar in the eastern bloc, they made a big diplomatic row over this abuse of the treaty and the two american countries wanted to settle as quickly and silently as possible to supress the scandal. This is how the russkies managed to save a pretty penny. 195.70.32.136 09:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] dates

this article needs dates - leaves you with no idea of even which decade it happened in

This happened around 9 or 9:30 Eastern time, perhaps a little earlier. I only know I was watching a TV program that aired at 9:30 a.m. on an Erie, PA station and upon the conclusion of the program, or perhaps during it, there was a bulletin about the satellite.
