Just put my flag out flying high. Encourage everyone else to do the same.

It's probably more appropriate to fly it at half-mast today.

Does that swath of material reflecting on nexrad always show up during a reentry or just today? That's incredible.

During take-off CNN showed a video that clearly depicted a piece of insulation falling off the main tank and hitting the leading edge of a wing. They highlighted it, but by then the shuttle was already on its way up. Could that be the cause for the crash in that it somehow disrupted the ceramic heat shielding?
Here is a picture of the event.

Thanks for giving us an idea at who these Astronauts are!

As most of you probably have, I have been watching the films of the shuttle entering the atmosphere. One of them that was just aired on fox, zoomed in briefly and afforded a clear view of the shuttle before it broke up. It appeared to me that there was about a 20-degree yaw (meaning, that the nose was pointed about 20 degrees to the side of the flight path), which of course would explain the break-up. Has anyone considered the possibility that some malevolent adversary could have interfered with the computer data link between NASA and the shuttle?

"Grisly" debris reportedly being found ... this is so very sad.

Pray for the crew, pray for their families, and for the ones left behind to challenge the winds of space and reach for the stars.
We go on.

I'm mirroring the image of the crew. NASA's servers seem bogged down right now.

Wow... That's incredible. Eerily reminiscent of the radar imagery of Matthattan on September 11th.
