    No.



    This is like a woman getting raped, and saying "I bet that slut asked for it".



    When people freak out over you saying that, you reply:



    "What? I don't think she did, I'm just pointing out that possibility!! What are you so mad about?"

    The astronauts didn't ask for it. You're really stretching it. No one doubts the mechanical errors. I doubt the causes. Ooops.. haha I just ducked.. Now I'm running!

    but didn't u know that the whole space program has always been a fake...a decoy to take our minds off domestic problems. and whenever we need a distraction, just blow something up and we conveniently forget about what's going on in the rest of the world.



    SPJ...geniuses like you also doubted the moon landings, and it disgusts me...

    Well since the world isn't round, it is pretty hard to orbit it now isn't it. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

    [pulling thread, kicking and screaming, back towards topic]



    Wouldn't it suck if this was a software bug? The shuttle was on autopilot, right? And NASA just said today that the computer detected increased drag on the left side, and adjusted control surfaces to compensate. But they had never had an increase in drag quite so big on a reentry before. What if the computer overcompensated, and sent the shuttle tumbling? It's probably tricky to model these Mach 12 situations for QA. And NASA was sure that even the high end of their tile-damage predictions would produce only "localized minor structural damage". Yech.

    You're an &lt; &gt;. The "record" deficits are smaller in % than previous ones. It's only in total dollars that they are a "record". It's called inflation. Take and economics course freshman.



    You're anti-Bush hatred had taken you to new levels of hysteria.

    I have to agree with you on this one...however, you are an extremist in the opposite direction. You and SPJ are simply opposite sides of the same coin.
