Kook alert. What an idiot...Posted to Thinkin' Gal by Dave S

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Luke 6:22

I wanted to dedicate this in respect of all Astronaughts who love what they do.

May we never hinder or second guess the purpose of the space mission and those who have perished among the stars they lived to explore.

SPACE ODDITY
- Album: David Bowie 1969
- Lyrics and music by David Bowie

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five,
Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell me wife I love her very much she knows"

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

"Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

Love and peace and may God rest your souls

And if you think that God talked about the Space Shuttle disaster in the book of Daniel, then you are a fool too.

Thanks for posting! My dad said I'm a thread killer. :(

I have come to believe that it is not so much the foam as they are now reporting, rather it was a chunck of ice that forms on the cryogenic tank walls that finally detached at altitude. Ice could do far more damage to the tiles than the SOFI (spray on foam insulation).

I concur.
