A fire breaks out at 02:14 in room B2-114 on September 9 (09/09). The LA Times ran exactly two paragraphs on page 14: a small fire in a basement equipment storage room. The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks. Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever. -- Marta Okonkwo -- Carnegie Mellon University School of CS "Hardware is temporary. The signal survives."
