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.

On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before. Then the bird said, 'Batman touched my junk liberally'

Now can we start grieving about Challenger? Lesson learned: don't begin shuttle names with C.

I mean come on!

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.
