NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe said Columbia broke up in flames as it re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere


FIERY DESCENT

NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe said Columbia broke up in flames as it re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere, spreading debris over hundreds of miles of Texas, just 16 minutes before the 100-ton shuttle was to have landed at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

It is possible the seven astronauts on board were alive through much of the shuttle’s descent and breakup and is unlikely they were killed instantly, a NASA official told NBC News.

I'm beginning to think that some here consider ANY criticism on apart of NASA, much less any gov agency; is a direct slap in face to GWB. It seems to be believed that somehow incompetence in government has somehow ceased. Through reading through some of these individuals posts, you think that either could do no wrong.
