Have had my tinfoil hat on all morning too. :-) I would not be surprised in the least.

Why tinfoil-hat it given the enormous amount that can go wrong with these missions? We strap people on top of large amounts of explosives, shoot them into space, and you expect no losses? NASA's track record, given what they do, is amazing. I've bitten my nails waiting for another one of these to happen for years. It's not a matter of IF you're going to screw up a few times when you're doing what they're doing, but WHEN, and what you learn from it when you do, is the unfortunate truth of the matter...no one ever said space travel for the faint of heart.
