A command post has been set up in Palestine, Texas, doofus, as debris has been found there.

You're not very smart, pal. You also don't know much about Texas.>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thank-you.......some of us can't help where we happen to live........again as posted...we pronounce it PalestEEn...

I watched it take off from my parent's home and took pictures and it was a wonderful day!

FNC is talking to the Airport Director at the Nacadoches airport. They had a 5 foot long tank land at the end of the runway. They didn't know what it was and put it in a pickup truck to move it outta the way.


I'm stunned by the whole thing.

[FUMETTI]

Just heard the news and it is just a tragedy.

Yeah, I missed putting the date on it. It was 12/14/02. I reposted it and a followup from January this year on the commentary thread.

Thanks for catching that for me.

Right now, we're all very emotional and our nerves are raw.

I'm sure you know that Howlin is one of the great ladies of Free Republic - she is our heart and soul. I consider her a friend, even though we're 3,000 miles apart, and we've never met. Please don't hurt her. (I know she can stand up for herself, but please back off.)

A quick search for the Challenger Transcript will give you enough information to question the official NASA line. NASA's tape indeed ended with the explosion, but McAuliffe's personal recorder kept working until the end.

All I remember is reading one small report a couple of years after the tragedy. This report detailed how swithces were thrown and buttons pushed when they finially found the shuttle at the bottom of the ocean. Obviously this could have only happened AFTER the explosion.

I remember being amazed at how little attention this got. I remember speaking to a friend about it and he said maybe it's to respect the family of the dead.

Odd and interesting....

If anybody can do it, our scientists and engineers can, I guess.

Yes moose, it can be done. No doubt in my mind.
I am looking forward to the details.

The hardest part will be dealing with the sudden stop.
But the small size makes it doable.

I was up and making breakfast around 8:00 CST about 30 miles northwest of Dallas and didn't hear a thing - for which I'm glad. And unlike others' pets, my dog didn't notice anything. How very very sad, such fine and brave people. We're left with only the hope that they died very quickly.

[The South Park Republican]

You want to see the emails I've received from her and have not responded too?

[Palladin]

Sorry that your New Year had to start out like this. It can only get better. Regards to Ming and Yujing.

[The South Park Republican]

I repect your friendship with her.

[RummyChick]

I wondered how long it was going to take for the rats to imply that Bush has purposely caused this tragedy

[shezza]

I've been reading, reading, reading, refreshing, reading, watching FOX, reading... for hours here on FR. Thank you ALL for the informative updates, personal input, and continued comments. My heart is breaking.

[bonesmccoy]

That is absolute BS.
The cockpit was in pieces from 51-L.
There was no way a "switch" could have been thrown in the context of the Challenger recovery program and to allege that impropriety exists in the manner of the recovery is outrageous.

[The South Park Republican]

You know...If everyone would just ignore what they don't like, those things would dissappear very quickly. I've never understood these kind of activities on message boards.

It's really that simple...

I followed the link. These people are "HateAmericans". How they must hate themselves for living in this country. We should have a Freepathon and collect money to send them to countries more fitted to their ideology like N. Korea, China, Iraq.
