I wonder what else is in those e-mails.

Got a feeling this is phoney. I believe NASA said there is no way the astronauts could view the damage. And why would they send a message to home rather than NASA.

I'm also sure the message would have to go through NASA.

I don't think the astronauts had a separate "road-runner" line hooked up for private e-mails. Do you??

I think what bothers me about the story is that NASA kept saying they didn't have any pictures of the damage ... maybe they didn't have THESE pictures, but if your brother was in space and sent you pictures, wouldn't you let people at NASA know ...??
