and what was that? That I posted the simple facts here on Saturday night of just what happened and have been jumped on for it ever since. From what I understand I have been proved correct.

What I did not know at the time was just how bad NASA screwed up, and that they had been warned about it long ago.

Watch out! There is a 110 lb piece of ice coming at you at 61mph.

These people are acting as if they're desperate about shutting all discussion down. I wish I knew what they are so anxious we should not find out.

=) Boy freepers have strong opinions. I hope that we end up building the X43 space plane or something better as result of all this.

I also dont want people to think that we are being anti-space. We just want to weed out the few apples and make progress.

Finally, I think that Bush has done an awesome job so far.

Easy for you to say when you are sitting behind some keyboard and have the ability to hide behind a screen name in relative anonymity.

Get over yourself - you're not omniscient, you're not the end-all and be-all of this forum, much less when it comes to dealing with an aerospace accident - which is what this appears to be.

It MIGHT have been the ice/foam that hit the left wing. But it MIGHT have been something else. All we KNOW FOR CERTAIN is that the shuttle broke up - most of the rest of this is guesswork.

There are people who will be askign questions, TLBSHOW, people who know a HELL of a lot more about this stuff than you. It's not nauseating to ask what happened, but it IS nauseating when people toss about accusations with NO EVIDENCE other than someone's speculative memo.
