Thank You, Mr. President.

I just came in from feeding the cattle and mending some fence. I had no idea till I saw this thread that this happened. I was just posting in the Challenger thread the other day and have been thinking about that tragedy all week.

I'm going back out and do some more work. I can't even bear turning on the tv to see the footage.


My feelings about the courage and sacrifice of the best isn't going to be shat upon by the 24 hour news ambulance chasing this time.

But i don't see why ebay is cancelling these auctions. They were capitalizing off 9-11, don't see why they shouldn't be doing it off this.

They cancelled 9/11 auctions too.

Another day of sadness for America.

Is it just me or did Bush look like he was getting choked up?

Anyone else notice Nasa Administrator O'Keefe leave the room after his statement? He also looked like he was holding back tears.

Sadly, one of the astronauts who died shares my Alma Mater; David Brown just spoke here not long ago, and we were very proud of his accomplishments as the first W&M student into space....a very sad day.


Article on W&M site, for those interested

I hope funding for space-exploration will increase significantly in the near-future. It would be suitable honor to the memory of the astronauts and it's something that just needs to be done IMO.

I can't believe this happened again. I just woke up, looked at cnn.com and thought it was a joke. Especially just after the anniversary of the Challenger last week. Turn the tv on, and sure enough, no joke, history has repeated itself. Indeed, another sad day for America. R.I.P.

I'm taking the dog the the beach and getting away myself..

Someone posted a thread a while ago asking what it would take to make you cry... I found out today..

What language if I may ask? I'm not good and being able to tell those sort of things.

'Aerodynamics May Explain Space Shuttle Breakup'

There are three scenerios to explore, but the first scenerio, loss of control while rolling the shuttle over to expose the tiles, may very well be the problem. It appears it is a dicey manuevor at best,and not much room for error.


To the rest who asked about the Presidents address, I saw it on CNN. I have a 13 inch tv on always when I am at the computer. It was brief. It was to the point. It was eloquent. I will search for a text, but his sincerity was moving. You need to see a replay. I believe there is one on CNN.com website.
