It didn't break up then? It passed into another dimension? Time travel?

CNN knows all.

:D

Not only that, but wouldn't the entire earth have been in danger? I mean, it would have reached infinite mass as it reached the speed of light, right? Instant black hole?

If they went that fast they would have infinite mass... and then their clothes wouldn't fit.

Actually, this reminds me of the diagram they were showing back during Desert Storm, when they were talking about the SCUD missiles. According to the diagram, the SCUDs travelled at 56 miles per hour. Seems like they would have a hard time staying aloft at that speed, unless Saddam attached wheels to them so they could travel by highway.

LOL, that is pretty much what I thought when I saw them talking about it. You would think the commentator (It was Rather or Jennings) would have been smart enough to realize that a missile would not stay airborne at that speed, but I guess they are so used to being spoon-fed all of their information, they do not bother to question it.

CNN is retarded. i tried watching it yesterday and got sick of how sensational it is. CNN also determined yesterday that foam falling away from the tank on liftoff damaged the wing and caused the incident. so now nasa doesn't have to investigate.

This is only a small reason, but a reason nevertheless, why I only watch the FOX News Channel now. Light years better than CNN.

A typo is misspelling a word. This is just ignorance.

You've never thought one thing and either said or typed another? Of all the things these guys report, there's bound to be a mistake at some point.

You found it, caught it and here's your cookie.
