Columbia Disaster Anniversary
Jorkapp writes "One year ago today, seven astronauts perished in a horrible silver-white comet over Texas skies. Since then, life at the Johnson Space Center seems to have returned to normal. Still, memories of the doomed STS-107 mission can be found throughout the center. Space.com has a rather interesting editorial about NASA's past, present, and future with the Space Shuttle program. In the immediate future, returning the Shuttle fleet to flight is a key first step. Eventually, NASA plans to launch Constellation, a new Crew Exploration Vehicle designed to replace the shuttles." Jim Lovell has a few words to say.
Absolutley nothing to do with the topic at hand, but didn't know where to put this.
I hate moderator points, to be fair I have changed preferences to include all posts, and have never before seen such a horrible s/n ration on this site. Has the trolls and FP idiots always been here? and what about the jewpranks dummy?
This site used to be a good read with replies to a story that I used to value; with the mod points that I get it seems that the site is *almost* more bother than it is worth!
Is there any way to not see the crap posts that litter this site?
Please help me enjoy this site at the level I did before.
