In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- === Pavel Rodríguez === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
