yeah man, that sucks really bad, its a horrible tragedy, theres debris in my town and people around here were like, "man, i felt the impact from it hitting" but im not sure if i beleive that,i was asleep when it happened though
I've been watching the news since it was first reported this morning, and the impact you speak of was more than likely the explosion/concusion. Any kind of impact would only be from pieces of debris scattered throughout that area of the state. This whole thing brings me flash backs of watching the challenger explode 17 years ago on tv as it launched. Very sad day.

My dad told me about it, then I saw it on every monitor at CompUSA. It's a pretty sad thing to have happen, but it's a calculated risk. I wonder what it would take for the gov't to realize there isn't a whole lot to gain from the space program. I certainly don't mean to sound cold, because those people who lost their lives left a lot of people behind, and that's always depressing, but no worse than any average person who dies, on the job or off.

actually the NASA guy said it was a area where communication is good for them, considering they have a base in Houston.



Only thing Osama needs pinned on him is a target, that cowardly

mother ****** that he is, so big and bad hiding in ******* caves like

the filthy animal that he is.
