"If we die, we want people to accept it. We're in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life."- Gus Grissom, Commander, Apollo 1, speaking a few weeks before his death in the Apollo 1 fire.
A video image of a helmet that dropped into a yard in Norwood Community, Texas from the space shuttle Columbia is seen February 1, 2002. Many parts of the shuttle along with human remains were found in the area. NASA (news - web sites) officials later removed the helmet. REUTERS/Rick Wilking
Father, we place all of this upon the altar and we give gratitude and praise to you that you do indeed hear and answer our prayers.

SPACE SHUTTLE FIXES HUBBLE TELESCOPE AS UFOs WATCH
Jeff Challender writes, STS-109/Columbia has been a very interesting mission. Anomalies were seen during several phases of the flight, including post-ascent, rendezvous with Hubble, during spacewalks, and at the point of Hubble's release back to orbit. All of the goals of the mission were met in excellent fashion. The entire power system was overhauled, and the Hubble's deep space vision was improved ten fold. During rendezvous and capture, a reflection of HST's flat base appeared in a payload bay camera lens, which looked for all the world like a classic "flying saucer." To the untrained eye, it could easily have been mistaken for a UFO. A white object was seen several times during space walk activities, and although it had some resemblance to the Moon, it was in the wrong part of the sky. While astronaut Jim Newman was working on the HST power system, an object was seen from his helmet camera. This object came into view from ! underneath Columbia, came to a complete stop, and executing a 90 degree right angle turn, went back under the Shuttle. Some fifteen seconds later, this, or a similar object streaked past the astronauts at extreme speed, appearing to originate from the same area where the first object disappeared.
During the release of Hubble back into it's orbit, a strobing object was seen moving from 7 o'clock toward 2 o'clock. The camera operator tried several times to move the camera in order to eliminate the object from the field of view, to no avail. It continued to enter the screen. At this point, the feed was cut. Some time later, the tapes made by the crew from inside Columbia of the HST release were replayed in their entirety. The same strobing object was in the area of Hubble, but from a different angle. Disregard the incident involving Commander Altman and the capcom. It is a demonstrable case of ice chips caused by a small fuel leak. Thanks to Jeff Challender Jefchall@worldnet.att.net
A letter from Joe Love says, "I've been watching hours of the Shuttles STS 109 mission and I'm convinced I saw and recorded an awesome extraterrestrial craft that was imaged by the space shuttle camera at 3:30 AM Eastern time on March 1, 2002. It was a most graceful beautiful object in flight that I have ever seen. It seemed to be several hundred to a thousand feet from the shuttle and a hundred feet in length. Basically it was a glowing, golden colored, long and narrow band that kept a crescent shape most of the 38 seconds it was in view. It looked like a convulsing worm, tumbling nine times end over end. It straightened out once. The best part is the six bright, golden, brief flashes of light (unevenly timed) as if reflecting the sun, but the sun was on the opposite side of the Earth. During the mission press conference a reporter asked about the anomaly, Brian Austin-Lead Flight Director for STS-109 stated, "It was more than likely a piece of ice. Snip. It appeared much too far away and large to be ice. Thanks to Joe Love.

"It was born a research and development vehicle and it will die that way," maintains Jose Garcia, an outspoken shuttle engineer at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida who opposes the management contract. Garcia believes the shuttle is successful because of the vigilance built into the structure of its work force -- layers of civil servants and contractors that form a system of checks and balances that keep problems from slipping between the cracks.
Risking a career that spans three decades, Garcia outlined his concerns in letters last year to the White House and Congress. He fears that corporate managers responding to the profit motive will launch and fly when they should not, unchecked by significant government oversight.
Another Clinton caused disaster!!!!
No, I'm not an ordained minister or preacher. I havent put much info on my home page yet. Never dreamed anyone would be interested!
I join you in asking for God's blessing upon our 7 heroes and their loved ones.
