Quote:If I'm reading this correctly, the Kootenay exploded while Keating was on it, presumably near enough to Earth to survive and his body wasn't found, rendering him MIA. We might want to investigate the explosion--I doubt anyone unprepared for it can survive an exploding rocket, and Keating may have done that intentionally to fake his death.
I don't think that's right, the Kootenay incident was back in '69, when Keating was a kid. Keating was lost in '83. I suppose I've assumed that he was lost during a mission to Distant Shores, though that hasn't been stated directly, and Morris probably doesn't have the clearance to actually know. That could be something to check on: what was Keating's final mission? Probably have to call back to HQ for that.

It seems that way, but that's sort of my point. How could his neighbors (and the local police?) know, but not the NSC?
