If I didn't know better, this news idiot here on the tube is absolutely ecstatic that there's been more deaths in the Space Program.
God these Newsidiots make me sick.
God rest the souls of the astronauts..

Try going to your FR preferences and selecting Show 20 posts at a time. The default is 50, and if we start using graphics, it can really choke a dial-up connection.
Hang in there.

IMHO, there's absolutely no reason to fly anything but rats or monkeys anyhow.Let's fly nothing on the space shuttle but Democrat politicians until this is fixed. Monkeys and rats are too valuable to risk.

Immediate popular reaction in Baghdad on Saturday to the loss of the U.S. space shuttle Columbia and its seven-member crew -- including the first Israeli in space -- was that its was God's retribution on Americans.These Reuters types need brain enemas desperately. Just how the hell were they able to gauge "popular reaction" in a country where wearing the wrong facial expression can win you a free stay in one of Baghdad's finer torture palaces?

Not sure the newsidiots name. But he's on NBC channel 4.
Currently David Gregory is on, giving a small respite from the idiot.

With the extreme magnification, and the clear skies, the video tracking of the shuttle re-entry was actually consistent with Mach 18.5 and 39 miles up. How do you think they can coast from Texas to Florida unpowered?
Although they were well past the black-out phase, they still were in a dynamic speed situation that required the thermal protection of the shuttle tiles, etc. To have tried to bail at those speeds would have literally ripped an astronaut apart, AND burned them up. This was a very sorry end to a wonderful crew. Prayers to all the families, and for our nation to seek after His grace in this tragedy.

One thing I'll never understand is when I come across conservatives who advocate limited government and despise the notion of one-world government, yet are so gung-ho about a space program that requires massive government expenditures and now involves foreign nationals flying on missions with U.S. military personnel.
You remind me of the "grumpy old man" who would sit at his condo window and watch to make sure the other residents don't disobey the rules. Do you have many friends?

They sure are animals and the more they are exposed the better for all the world to see these anti-Americans that DU and liberal left is.

Ughh! I did not need to see that excrement today!
Please! Do NOT waste time at DU. It is like Christ trying to preach to the denizens of Hell, who had followed Satan in flames to their doom. Spend your time amongst the Living.

Thank goodness
E-bay had the good sense to invalidate the item. Of course, it may have been a spoof.

Are you talking Space Base Warfare? Now that is a scary thought. If they have a weapon that can do that. Things will heat up(no pun intended) quite quickly in the geo political sphere.
