this is very bad news.... hopefully the guys are still alive... if they have been able to get out, they have a chance for survival because they have parachutes...unlike during 51-L.

They need to find the debris and the guys.

Unless they burned up during reentry.

The first Israeli astronaut is aboard. Security was VERY tight for the launch.

Dear God in Heaven.

Not possible at 207K feet. Primary radar contact was lost which indicates the orbiter disintegrated.

Our local station has pictures of it breaking up. Reporter at Fair Park was taking pictures and got pictures of it coming apart.
