Shuttle Fleet Upgraded

angel'o'sphere writes "Space.com reports that the shuttle fleet will be upgraded with more technology, like new sensors to detect debris hits on the wings, etc. Also, the foam causing the Columbia accident (intended to insulate the tank and prevent the formation of ice) will be replaced by: heaters. I wonder if heating up a tank with liquid oxygen is a bright idea."

    Yep, designed before you were born.

    As were B-52's, 727's, the Blackbirds (U2 spycraft).

    Dumbass, anything designed before you were born must be shit.

    You, sir, are an idiot.

    You should take your medication before you post.

    8 years of Clinton's appeasment gave us the WTC.
    He sat back and had his dick sucked during the Cole incident, He only shot blanks when his whore was on the witness stand. I'll bet THAT impressed Saddam.

    You bleeding heart motherfucking pansies make me sick. When was the last time you smelled the stench of death? I guess you are going to try to rewrite the genocide in iraq the way the skinheads try to rewrite nazi Germany. I was a fucked up liberal like you when I was a mere youth, then I had a rude awakening and education in the way the world works.

    Saddam deserves to die, and die as horribly as his ex subjects can concieve. His henchmen and puppet-masters at the UN are already trying to make a deal to spare his life.

    But you don't care about what is good for the world at large, you are just eaten up with petty hatred for Bush - a better man than you. It is a fucking shame that Saddam didn't get to gas you. It is a shame that Uday didn't have a chance to torture you. It is a shame that the liberal whore who whelped you didn't abort you and save the world from another fucked up liberal.

    Why don't you just kiss my proud, rich, republican, veteran's ass? I set you free, I bled so useless fucks like you can use the internet to spread hate, I served because you are too fucking cowardly to do your duty.
