You should check out Drudge he is slamming NASA from that thread last night. Why they didn't heed Mr Nelson.

It is worth noting that none of the issues this man listed appear to have anything to do with what happened.

In any collection of 1,000 people, there is always going to be one who runs around telling anyone who will listen that the sky is falling. Some of these people are, quite frankly, royal pains in the butts. They become even bigger pains when -- as has happened here -- something does go wrong (even though it's not anything they warned us about) and they jump on the rooftop to say they told us so.

I have no patience with such weenies. This guy is playing a giant game of "neener neener" with a real tragedy. He's a despicable little glory-seeking creep.

I had him on while reading these posts but I couldn't stand him any more and turned him off. Being somewhat familiar with the subject, he's way off base.

I had/have some theories but it's a lot more interesting watching the truth emerge and looking for where it will come from. One of the thoughts is that with all the video on the breakup it should be pretty easy to match the pieces in the video to the debris field and work it backwards to identify the sequence of parts breaking up. There was one large component that separated to the South and sure enough there was a large debris site separated from the general field to the South. I expect that video from different angles (plus possibly radar) could determine if the path is south or just low.

They are also expecting additional "compromised" data for 30(?) more seconds after what we have heard so far. I think NASA is doing a fine job through this whole ordeal. I hate to see Drudge and people that are not knowledgeable stir up the politicos and waste more time and money.
