More on Columbia 518
RodeoBoy writes "It seems that regardless of what NASA and Boeing wants the public to believe there are still questions about damage to the shuttle's left wing. Some Boeing engineers have raised concerns that proper analysis of the damage was not done at the time, due to changes and cutbacks in Boeing. It is also coming out that more than one chunk of foam might have hit and damaged the wing.

these were refined from crude oil,
probably originating in the middle east,
maybe even from Iraq!
You don't have to be Donald Rumsfield to put two and two together and blame Iraq for this heinous atrocity!!!!!
Either that or the shuttle was shot down by an Al Quaida operated railgun lent to Osama by Saddam and fired from Cuba! (those railguns have long range you know).
Honest.

I mean, if he can get a bill that allows logging in a national park past , has a dozen national parks which protect endangered wildlife turned into army training grounds, and opens up artic wildlife reserves for oil drilling all in an 'effort to fight terrorism' I don't see why getting funding for building a better space shuttle should be that difficult.
Remember, if your using a regionless DVD player the terrorists have already won...
