The Space Shuttle explodes. Again. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ABlairican Pie · 02-01-2003, 02:16 PM

As I'm sure everyone has heard by now, the Space Shuttle Columbia has exploded over central Texas minutes while re-entering Earth's orbit minutes before it was to return to Florida.
One of its crew was Israel's first astronaut. Terrorism is NOT suspected. Nearly 18 years since the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded. Wonder how this will affect the space program.

First major news story of the year.

I'm watching the story on Headline news right now. It's terrible. There's enough tragedy going on in the world with this Iraq stuff. Now this. I feel sorry for the astronauts' families. I'll pray for the families and hope that they will be okay in the future.

I'm heartsick. Those poor people and their families. Last week, January 28th marked the 17th anniversary of the Challenger explosion in 1986.
This doesn't reflect well on NASA.

yeah, me too.

I heard it on the radio this morning.

This really is a tragedy. My heart goes out to the families of these astronauts. I couldn't believe it when I saw it on tv. I called my cousin who lives just outside of Dallas, and she heard the explosion, so she went outside and she saw it all. She took pictures. She said she had never seen or heard anything like that in her entire life. I live in Arkansas, and the shuttle could actually be seen from, get this, Columbia County, in extreme southwest Arkansas as it fell.

Exactly seven people were on there. Five of them were male, and the other two were female. They were all in their 40's.

My brother and I were helping my sister move into her new house and had a horrible sense of deja vu this morning when we heard the news. We both remember watching the tragic events of the Challenger disaster on TV as we watched the reports today.

Very sad.
