There's no harm in speculating, as long as it's reasonable speculation.

The whole "Terrorisim" thing is over the top, but anything else is fair game.

EGAD's I just realised that we have pictures of Husband all over campus here. He graduated in Mechanical engineering, and I remember seeing pictures of him in the department.

McCool also graduated from Coranado High School here in Lubbock.

this is quite sad.

Fortunately Bush did say that he wouldn't let this slow down the program. Don't know how much stock we can take in this, but it's a good sentament.

as a jew with an israily (pardon the spelling) father, i have to say that this tradgedy hurts more then it does for others. after all the carnige, fear, and pain going on in israel, this mision took our atention away from all that for a bit. it gave us hope and joy. Col. Ilan Ramon was and is a hero, as you might have heard he was in the paper (on almost every page), musicions litteraly were singing his praises...and it feels like God is laghfing in our faces, like God has turned It's (for lack of a better term) on us. these feelings, and doubts in God, and shaking of faith have not been with jews since the holocost. It just feels like a slap in the face, and a punch in the stomach. on a side note: i must say that Bush's speach was incredible! and i'm saying this an anti-Bush person...

I don't want to get into a religious battle but I don't think God turns his back on any one. Everything happens for a reason.

it's cool, I was just making a point and say how my family, and the people of israel feel right now. just trying to put the mood into words; a nearly imposible task, and bound to have some "mistranslation" of emotion to word. i guess i just need to work on my writing skills. i was just trying to add another point of veiw that the media kinda skimed over (exept for fox, cuz they had the israely ambasador on).

I understand what your saying, just remember never lose faith.

It wouldn't be possible they could of hit something in the atmosphere could they? I mean we do have a lot of junk floating up there. Just curious.

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

Anything is possiable, and that would almost make sense to.

[Umbra Solis]

i realy dont think thats a posibility. there are tons of guys who's job is to navigate the sea of astro-garbage up there. but there might be the posibility of micro-meteors...i think

Sorry to sound dumb but whats that?

I believe there is a site that is dedicated to tracking all satelites and debris orbiting earth. Might be ran by the army, not sure though.

I am in college in NY, I spoke to my family and friends who live in Tyler, TX. All of them were woken up by a "boom", my parents said he house shook. My dad's partner was out side this morning takeing pictures of the ship renenterin, until it blew up. http://www.tylerpaper.com/site/news.cfm?brd=1994 This is what he took.

Also another friend said he saw some wreckage a hunk of metal is sitting on the meredian of HW 155
