Ack. Not another 1986...I still remember it.
Me too.
Im not up to date on how a Space Shuttle works, but jesus, at the speed they're going, and the obvious loss of controls, well, I kinda put two and two together.
I'm no religious but I'm praying for the astronauts and their families. God be with them.

The second you see the video of it breaking up, you have to realize there's close to no chance of survival..

Yeah.. that's pretty much a bad sign..
Columbia, on this mission, was researching Astronaut safety.
Not good.
In addition to feeling sorry for the astronauts, I wonder what political problems this will cause for NASA.
A number of congresmen were already seeking for NASA funding to be drastically cut.
This might just be the clincher for that.
Prays for all of their family, friends, and children.

I was in fifth grade when the Columbia was first launched. We watched it on TV in school - it was a major event, and we were all on pins and needles like we were on the thing ourselves...
A sad day.

Jajahotep had this to say about Captain Planet:
All I can say is I am glad they are not pursuing the terrorist theory. After the reporters on the Today show hinted at that, I turned it off.
You're kidding me. I've always enjoyed the Today show when I was awake to watch it, but that's just ridiculous.

Eh, it's not really that stupid. Terrorists groups have been known to use hand held SAMs to shoot down airplanes.(I think an Air Force transport was shot down in Afghanistan like that, even, though I may be thinking of somewhere else) To most of the Terrorist groups if America is the Great Satan, then Israel is it's right hand Demon. That shuttle would have been a prime target to use their known SAM attack on, seeing as it was highly publized in both America and Israel, as it was the first ever Israeli to go into space and the future of their Space Program pretty much rested on it.
And I think she's exagerating a little, or turned off the TV before they actually finished that discussion. 
The only one I saw was some guy, I don't watch the Today Show so I don't know his game, asking some guest about the possibilities of Terrorism. To which all he said was it was thought of when it happened, but it was deemed too high in the air to be attacked by any sort of missle(plus the tape didn't show any contrails), and any sort of sabotage would have shown itself long before then. And then they moved on to other things and didn't mention it again.
Still, that hasn't stopped a portion of Baghdad's citizens from dancing in the streets.

A sleep deprived Suchii stammered:
Uh, the shuttle was 200k feet up. 35 or so MILES. SAMs cannot go that far, and definetly not handheld versions. We can safely say if it was a terrorist act, it was something already on the shuttle.

I just think even bringing up questions like that before there's even been an investigation is just feeding this paranoia that has been rampant since 9/11.
