I hold the space program in almost religious reverence. I would *never* bullshit about something like this. I have all the respect in the world for the brave souls who ride these screaming machines for the betterment of all humanity.

A terrible thing happening at a terrible time. Let us hope that cool heads are at work right now. FWIW, the current administration line is that there's no way it could have been an act of terrorism, and they are absolutely right, from my point of view. Catastrophic system failure, either in attitude control or shuttle structure, would be the most likely, I think.

It really sucks...
