[You Dirty Rats]

Wait until the facts are out?

You'll never be a network analyst!

The rule on this thread seems to be - attack first, think later if at all.

Anyone who really knows anything about this disaster -- really knows -- is too busy working on investigating this tragedy and doesn't have time to post to this thread.

There have been so many stupid posts on this thread that I fear we will never be able to criticize Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Mars) for her total ignorance of space.

The mindless attacks on NASA and its employees -- before all the facts are in -- doesn't reflect well on this board. Everyone should try to remember that all of NASA, while working diligently to understand exactly what happened, are heartsick and no doubt feeling horribly about the loss of seven of their very best.

Of course, if it makes you feel better to just believe all government employees are corrupt and NASA bureaucrats are indifferent to death, then by all means go ahead. After all, everyone knows that all NASA administrators were black helicopter pilots earlier in their careers.

Thank you, Mo1, for a sliver of sanity on this ridiculous thread. (Most of the preceding comments were directed at the armchair rocket scientists, not you!)

Hear, hear.

Over the years I have come to believe that many (or perhaps even most) Americans slept, doodled, or daydreamed through their public school science classes.

This thread is another data point that reinforces that opinion.
