I'm sorry. I must have misunderstood the time. Anyway it is James Asker from Aviation Week.

Good morning to you. Hopefully this will be a much more uneventful day than Saturday.
I heard about 10 minutes of this Jay Barbaree fellow. He seems very informed in this area.
Some interesting points he made about even if they knew that the shuttle was doomed basically there is nothing more that they could do to bring it home safely. They weren't in an orbit that would allow them to get to the Space Station.
The part about the piece of foam being frozen was new to me. I don't know if he was Breaking News with that report or not.
I'll have more to say when I get settled into my workday routine.

I don't know if you heard this but Fred IMUS currently lives in Texas and heard this happen Saturday. How strange is that.
IMUS just mentioned that Jay Barbaree had a BREAKING NEWS report on the Today Show that someone in NASA sent a memo 2 days into the flight that there could be a problem with reentry.
I am disappointed with the way IMUS is handling this subject today. Hes way too emotional about a possible cover-up by NASA. We will have time for all of these allegations, but please give it some time.
