Balloonist part way to
circumnavigation goal
1ST. LOUIS — Adventurer
Steve Fossett sailed high over
the Indian Ocean on Wednesday,
one-third of the way to his goal of
becoming the first person to fly a
balloon nonstop around the
world.
However, he had to drop his
combination hot air and helium
balloon to a lower altitude to avoid
calm weather that could end his
flight.
By early afternoon, the Chicago
millionaire and his Solo Spirit bal
loon were 820 miles southeast of
Madagascar, flying east over the
Indian Ocean at 74 mph, accord
ing to his control center at Wash
ington University in St. Louis. He
had traveled 7,800 miles from his
starting point in Argentina.
Fossett’s control center said he
was on track toward Australia but
might be in danger of getting
caught in a high-pressure zone.
“The high-pressure zone means
really good weather, with no
winds,” said mission control
spokeswoman Marie Finkelman.

New software patch
blocks security hole
2 REDMOND, Wash. — Mi
crosoft Corp. has released new
software patches to fix a security
flaw in its Outlook Express and
Outlook 98’s electronic mail capa
bility while at the same time warn
ing of e-mail attachments claiming
to be the patch.
The flaw — also present in
Netscape Communications
Corp.’s current Web browser,
Communicator—allows any out
sider to send a booby-trapped
message capable of executing
nasty commands such as erasing a
computer’s hard drive.
Microsoft's new patches in
clude the fixes first offered July 27,
while also addressing a new vari
ant on the problem.
But the company on Wednes
day also warned that someone has
e-mailed users an attachment that
claims to be the patch but isn’t.
The company said the file is not
valid and should not be installed.
It said only patches downloaded
from the Microsoft Web site
should be used.
Air Force Titan rocket
explodes after launch
3 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
An Air Force rocket carrying a
classified military spy satellite ex
ploded shortly after liftoff today.
No one was injured.
The giant Titan 4 rocket split
apart 42 seconds into flight, show
ering debris over the Atlantic
Ocean. Until then, everything ap
peared to be normal.
“Oh, no,” the launch commen
tator muttered as the rocket blew
up. “It appears that we’ve had a
malfunction of the vehicle. ”
The 20-story Titan 4, powered
by solid-fuel boosters similar to
those on NASA’s space shuttle, is
the largest unmanned rocket in the
United States. It was hoisting a se
cret satellite for the National Re
connaissance Office that reported
ly cost $1 billion. The loss of the
rocket and the cost of the launch
swelled the total loss today by an
additional $200 million or more.
Journalists and guests watching
from three to four miles away were
rushed onto buses and evacuated
when the rocket shattered.
