Columbia Coverage

ke4roh writes "Space.com offers a list of questions and answers about the events and hardware surrounding Columbia's destruction Saturday. They address suspected causes, foam, tile, and some of the alternatives had NASA known the ship would not be able to re-enter the atmosphere." viewstyle writes "PC Magazine has a pack of stuff put together on the space shuttle accident, as they recognized the fact that the space program inspired a lot of tech people in general. What's pretty cool is the section written by a guy there who worked on the computer components in the shuttle." And naturally, the idea of a space elevator is back in vogue again.

    It appears people here cannot 'think' for themselves, only follow.

    I post many posts, and many are moderated up to +5

    Soon after the gatecrashers party in and abuse my posts. They post derogatory.

    Then soon again after my posts are moderated down.

    Perhaps the first solution is the better and I have scared those of you who choose not to 'think' but to 'follow'
