- I translated (from Hebrew to English) parts of an article last October
- and posted it here. It appeared on p. 14 of Yediot Achronot of Oct
- 11, 1991. Here's what he was quoted as saying about Galileo:
-
- "They invited me to come quickly to NASA's control center. They have
- a problem with the space probe Galileo, which was sent to Jupiter. It
- cost the a lot of money, has already traveled millions of kilometers,
- but its antenna has not opened. They called me, and I will try to
- help them. I will stand in the control center, I will concentrate,
- and by means of my mental power, I will try to open the antenna.
-
- "The Americans have a practical approach. They have already tried
- everything else and failed. So one of the senators connected to the
- space project has now turned to me.. What do they have to lose? If I
- succeed, I will save a mission worth billions. If I fail - nothing
- has been lost. How much would they have invested? In all, an airline
- ticket, a few days in a hotel, and some money for my time."
