space shuttle

Unfortunately, any criticism of the state or government policies in the US is often misinterpreted as an "unpatriotic"

CNN is still relatively better. Right wing US political talkshows now they are extreme!

I know, I thought it was VERY laughable when they thought it might have something to do with terrorists. Give me a break! These Afghan retards couldn't hit the broad site of a Quick Stop with a rocket launcher. How the hell are they going to home in on a shuttle 40 miles up moving at 12,500 MPH? Like any Afghan missle is going to track something at that speed and height! I think these over zealous news pimps are giving the enemy a little bit too much credit.
Although I do agree that it is a tragedy it was bound to happen again sooner or later. I mean come on! You're plummeting to the freakin earth in a 10,000 degree fireball at Mach 9! Where's the big surprise?

yes. and what about this sudden burst of people thinking, talking, and putting shows on, and the interest in space just after a little explosion that could've happened to anyone(with exceptions to everyone besides astronauts) i doubt that even 1/5,000 people even knew about the space shuttle reentry.

Let us all pray that it will go well for the crew of Discovery.

Hello ripguard.

Yes, let us all hope that.

[Watson]

They have decided to let Discovery return home.

Guess they couldn't keep them up there forever. Let's hope there's no probs.

Same hear. I would have loved to have seen it take off.

I know someone who worked on the shuttle program before it took off. It sounds like an excellent job.

let's hope and pray that all goes well

[Watson]

We will know in just a few hours.

[cynthia]

Sorry, Watson - you have to wait until tomorrow.

[blutach]

Poor Watson - he's waited up all night with the Shuttle.

Let's hope they come down safe soon.

Regards

[cynthia]

They told it was due to the weather.

Yes, I do feel sorry for Watson.

[nwg]

We will know in just a few hours.

It had been delayed by bad weather as they would have less than a 1000 feet visibility. It's something you need lots of when you going at 17,000 mph and at 3000 degrees F temperture.

They just landed.
