It could of been savagtage (i hope i spelt that right)

>It could of been savagtage

Sabotage. Your mastery of the English language astounds me.
I really doubt it's sabotage. It's possible, but highly unlikely. It was more than likely just an accident. Shikataganai.

like i said

Quote:

first off, if they sabotaged it before takeoff, somebody would have known, they always have a group of technicians making maintenance checks on everything and they have several dozen scientists there too, i think it would be pretty hard to rip off a few screws of a tile without being seen

well maybe like a month ago it didn't have be 2day and i could do any thing to it

**_E_** · February 1st, 2003

This is really sad news

This certainly reminds me with a similar incident that happenned on 1985. Space Shuttle bursted into flames after 35 sec from its launch, not to mention the crew of Appolo ( Appollo 10 if my memory serves me right) who died during an experimental launch. This isnt the first accident, I am sure that NASA would learn now from its mistakes and carry on its projects. Its unlikely a terrorist attack, I would say that it would be a human error from my point of view..

PS: am i wrong or did space shuttle colombia face techincal problems the past 4 years? If i recall correctly, its more than 16 years old

Right: it launched a while back, and is very unlikely to have been sabotaged before takeoff, and how the hell couyld the sabotours get to it while it's in space. Think before you type man, and stop spouting conspiracy theories with no substance.

an interesting tidbit which my stepfather caught... they mention that today's nasa accident w/ loss of life is in the same week that apolo 1 people burned in a capsule and I think he said the chalenger insident (note, this could be incorect if you feal inclined to research the topic).

also, as far as nasa being unsafe... a common practice is if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The shuttle they know lots about by now and have been having space launches all the time. Look at the chance of a plane going down (not the chance of you dying in it but plane failure)... the chance of plane failure is much lower than shuttle failure and that probobly comes from the fact that when nasa has an accident the almost totaly shut down and focus all efforts on the why... for a mere 7 passengers (or fewer in the past) where as the airline industry is nearly looked at like a car crash.... sorry a bit of a rand there.

Anyway, point is that nasa, almost daily, has a shuttle up there and technicaly this is the first set of astronauts to be lost in space, the challenger was lost early on take off and apolo 1 was on the ground... Thats not bad to have only 1 in space fatal accident in all this time. oh, also nasa gets insanely little money.

Who would be cruel enough to sabotage it, its nonsense, if bush blames some terrorists, im gonna laugh soooo much.

Just like the disease that was spread all around us(dont remember the name), it wasnt al-quada, it was some crazy dude.

SkyeHack you sig is so baseless it makes me sick. Yes, Columbia was the oldest Shuttle in the fleet making it's first flight in 81, but it was no more dangerous then a newer shuttle. Currently there is no evidence that it has to do with how old the shuttle is. It has been overhauled many times and brought up to the same standards as the other shuttles. It has less flights then newer shuttles, and the facts go on .. so stop spewing your crap and disgracing the Astronauts and the NASA program.

The Astronauts knew the risks of their jobs, and yes it is sad for their families, but you can't blame NASA for the accident. NASA takes these missions very seriously and will effect their lives and their jobs forever. So stop being a ****ing idiot and show some respect otherwise just just keep it to yourself.

Besides, you can blame them using an old shuttle on the US congress being the penny pinchers they are on the NASA program.

The Challenger explosion was caused because Congress didn't want to give nasa enough money to upgrade the systems on it.

Besides, taking 28 flights since 1981, the shuttle has really shown it's reliability.

And this problem with the space shuttle was a pure accident. It isn't because someone forgot to look at something, or the shuttle was too old. NASA is not built up of a bunch of incompetent fools. They know what they are doing. If they didn't, this would have happened a long time ago.

SkyeHack: The link in your sig produces 404. Just thought I would let you know that, since you can't seem to do much correct.

Err kingstar it never was proven an accident the case is still open their is some evidense of sabotage but thats probably the security guards cup of coffee spilt all over the seats but as far as the so called justice system goes it isnt an accident and hasnt been proved an accident

You mean technically in the air right? space technically doesnt come untile your half-way to the moon where the radiation is so intense it will give your skin a chemical burn that'll probably kill ya

I wouldnt say a bunch of incompetant fools but the fact is they are kept nieve on the situation by the top nasa officials so that they don't ruin nasa's plan for world domination

I don't know if any of you were old enough to remember the Challenger explosion on Jan 28, 1986. I still have the images from there imprinted in my mind, and seeing the footage from this accident just brings those memories back....

...Yes, I remember it

...that's the first thing that came to my mind too, after watching the recent accident news...

**Betamax** · February 2nd, 2003

I remember that challenger distaster. The bitter irony is that it was supposed to prove that space travel was safe for "normal" people, as it carried a schoolteacher as one of the unfortunate passengers.

My sympathies go out to their families.

I just heard the news a few hours ago.

At first I thought they were talking about the Challenger tragedy in the 1980s, but then I realize that this is a current spacecraft!

Yes I was 9 years old when the Challenger Explosion happened .. we were in school watching the launch and ended up seeing it happen live. It was very shocking as a child and something I will never forget.

Maybe ALIENS messed with it.

Oh well, **** happens. But for them to be blaming it on terrorism if and when that issue is brought up is just plain ludicrous... unless, of course, we're talking about "space pirates" here.

gotta blame it on something.

Terrorism has already been ruled out for some time now, not even an issue.
