He wasseriously injured after an automobile struck him while he was riding abicycle.In 1979, Kaufman joined the space flight center in Greenbelt, Md., as aresearch scientist. His primary fields were meteorology and climatechange, with a specialty in analyzing aerosols — airborne solid andliquid particles in the atmosphere. He played a key role in thedevelopment of NASA's Terra satellite, which collects data about theatmosphere.Franco Einaudi, director of the division in which Kaufman worked, saidthe space flight center had lost "a superstar."From 1997 to 2001, Kaufman was project scientist for the flagshipsatellite of NASA's Earth Observing System, which includes threesatellites that monitor conditions affecting the Earth's climate.Kaufman helped develop the experiments and instrumentation of the $1.3billion Terra satellite, which was launched in December 1999 and hasreturned a wealth of information on the travel of airborne particles.Kaufman, who wrote more than 200 scientific papers, found ways tomeasure aerosols to determine whether they were caused by humans oroccurred naturally, and he was working to understand their ultimateeffect on Earth's warming climate.http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/c...s-pe-californiaNASA shelves climate satelliteshttp://www.boston.com/news/science/article...ate_satellites/----+Mysterious death of top microbiologistSecond BioMérieux heir dies tragically!July 15th 2006LYON, France (AP) -- Christophe Merieux, the vice president of Frenchpharmaceutical group bioMerieux who was kidnapped as a child, has died.He was 39.Merieux, unmarried and without children, died Friday of a heart attackand was found at his family home in this southeastern city, a companyspokesman said.Merieux was in charge of research and development for the company, whichspecializes in vitro diagnosis. BioMerieux was founded in 1963 byMerieux's grandfather, Charles. The family Institute Marcel-Merieux wasfounded in 1897. It is widely considered a pioneer in industrialvaccines.The Merieux family, one of Lyon's most prestigious, has lived throughseveral dramas, with Christophe being kidnapped in 1975 and held for aransom of 20 million francs. Charles Merieux paid the kidnappers andChristophe was freed.Rodolphe, Christophe's younger brother, was killed in the July 17, 1996,explosion over the Atlantic Ocean of TWA 800 flight en route from NewYork to Paris when a fuel tank caught fire.http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_wi...,Deaths,00.htmlHmmmm...QUOTERodolphe, Christophe's younger brother, was killed in the July 17, 1996,explosion over the Atlantic Ocean of TWA 800 flight en route from NewYork to Paris when a fuel tank caught fire.THAT IS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE!!!I believe that Flight 800 was shot down -- it was not a fuel accident.Now we know who at least one of the intended targets was on flight 800.
