Space Shuttle Columbia

February 1st, 2003, 06:38 AM

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<hr width="100%" size="1" noshade>
NASA declared an emergency after losing communication with space shuttle Columbia as the ship soared over Texas several minutes before its expected landing time Saturday morning.

The shuttle was carrying the first Israeli astronaut and six Americans, and authorities had feared it would be a terrorist target.

Fifteen minutes after the expected landing time, and with no word from the shuttle, NASA announced that search and rescue teams were being mobilized in Dallas and Fort Worth areas.

There is a video on tv now that shows a bunch of white thick streaks through the air above Dallas...we can only assume it's Columbia.

How sad.

Flashbacks to Challenger.

That doesn't sound so good.

Man I've not posted here for a while. I'm soooo bored and pissed off with life right now.

Yeah my dad just told me about this and I looked on the CNN website. It don't sound too good at the moment.

Yep. They are all gone.

February 1st, 2003, 07:21 AM

It's only a matter of time before everyone gets on the terrorism badwagon.

February 1st, 2003, 07:23 AM

DarkWolf it was over Texas.

They're already saying it's highly unlikely to have anything to do with terrorism.

No chance of that. Totally out of range of surface-air missiles.
Re-entry is the 2nd most risky phase of space flight, next to the launch phase.
This will doubtless set the entire space program back, once again, for some time to come, as did the Challenger disaster, 17 years ago, in 1986.
Lord, please be with the lost crew members. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<hr width="100%" size="1" noshade>Slipping the surly bonds of earth and touching the hand of God.<hr width="100%" size="1" noshade></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah, which is why there weren't any here. Evidently there was a 15 second period of them in Texas though, which is even longer than they usually last where I live. And I live about an hour from the cape.

I never thought I would see two disasters like this in my lifetime...I still rememember the Challenger. I was in Geometry class when it exploded...

We used to loose people to the sea, now we loose them to space. The frontier changed, but the sarrow stayed the same.

I remember the Challenger incident. Shortly after I met the mother of Christa McAuliffe, the teacher on board the shuttle. Did you know the crew was alive the whole time during their fall back to earth? The initial explosion didn't kill or even knock them unconscious. A number of shuttle diagnostics or whatever were going on from inside all the way up until they hit the ground. Now that's scary shit. I would have taken the suicide pill the second after the shuttle exploded.

February 1st, 2003, 08:17 AM

Wow, that's aweful. They have video now of it breaking up on re-entry. A sad day indeed.

No-one could have survived. But let's hope they don't all jump on the terrorism wagon.

I just found out about Space Shuttle Columbia.

I still remember seeing Challenger on it's last launch on TV.

I really feel for the families of the lost Astronauts.

February 1st, 2003, 11:49 AM

Nah..I don't think people are going to jump on the terrorist bandwagon. Within minutes of the shuttle going down, the news, every channel, reported it was pretty darn near impossible for it to be any kind of terrorist attack.

It's a sad,sad,sad day in NASA history. God is with the fallen astronauts now. Hope they don't wait three years or more to go back up to space like they did on Challenger.
