“Broke apart in flames.” (ABC News) Shuttle is always in flames during landing, that’s because it’s a hypersonic re-entry. “May have broken apart due to the extreme pressure.” (ABC News) The pressures were very low, only about 88 psf. Thats pounds per square foot. I calculated it myself. “The first time there has been an accident during landing.” (Fox News) There have only been three accidents in the US manned spaceflight program. And THERE WERE NO TERRORISTS INVOLVED! Stop bringing it up!

The people in the news are bastards. Stop your bullshit, and report the damn news.

Urf, tired for a Friday night. I think I’ll go to bed. Red Dragon was ok, not a great movie by a longshot, but I don’t feel like it was a total waste of my evening.

To paraphrase Churchill, so many of us owe so much to so few.
