It's wearing me freaking OUT!!
I'll never understand people who post to someone to "SHUT UP" while asking the subject be dropped.
They are inherently bumping the issue.
People freak me out sometimes....

If it weren't for FR, they would barely be able to have a thread hit the 20-post mark in a week. LOL now... THAT gives me some ideas! sounds like FUN! lol
But I don't have time. :-) They make themselves look dumb enough as it is.

They aren't stranded...they have a Soyuz craft to get out in an emergency. Plus the Ruskies ...if we give 'em enough money...won't have any problems with shooting up a rescue mission before we can.
STS is grounded TFN....maybe forever.

"I have kids of my own that talk enough nonsense" At least with your kids you have the chance to teach them better.

A weather radar shows the debris swath as the shuttle broke apart. Click here
1715 GMT (12:15 p.m. EST)
Debris is scattered across a wide area of Texas. NASA is asking that any persons finding debris should stay clear given the hazardous nature of the materials and alert local authorities.
1710 GMT (12:10 p.m. EST)
Here is the NASA statement:
A Space Shuttle contingency has been declared in Mission Control, Houston, as a result of the loss of communication with the Space Shuttle Columbia at approximately 9 a.m. EST Saturday as it descended toward a landing at the Kennedy Space Center, Fla. It was scheduled to touchdown at 9:16 a.m. EST.
Communication and tracking of the shuttle was lost at 9 a.m. EST at an altitude of about 203,000 feet in the area above north central Texas. At the time communications were lost. The shuttle was traveling approximately 12,500 miles per hour (Mach 18). No communication and tracking information were received in Mission Control after that time.
Search and rescue teams in the Dallas-Fort Worth and in portions of East Texas have been alerted. Any debris that is located in the area that may be related to the Space Shuttle contingency should be avoided and may be hazardous as a result of toxic propellants used aboard the shuttle. The location of any possible debris should immediately be reported to local authorities.
Flight controllers in Mission Control have secured all information, notes and data pertinent to today's entry and landing by Space Shuttle Columbia and continue to methodically proceed through contingency plans.
More information will be released as it becomes available.
1700 GMT (12:00 p.m. EST)
The NASA news conference by Administrator Sean O'Keefe is planned for 1 p.m. EST.

Exactly-just before he back-handed you for doing again - right?
To: Catspaw
My comment stands. You and others are perpetuating it. Apparently the AM agrees...

Do you know the time of the President's address?
To: RummyChick; The South Park Republican
RummyChick --I just read thru' that "Big Dog" thread also -- I had the same reaction -- did you read the speculation that V.P. Cheney is actually dead and they haven't let us know yet ? Someone quickly pointed out that Cheney (or a fabulous actor playing him) was at the SOTU address -- ROFL
The South Park Republican: I appreciated the links -- sometimes you really need to see how the "opposition" reacts -- the hate and hypocrisy is hard to take, but if the Admin. Mod allowed the links, then it's okay by me -- hang in there
