It survived the initial breakup of the orbiter but broke apart on impact. One of the astronaut bodies, Greg Jarvis, was found quite a bit of ways away. NASA has been quiet about the locations of recovery because they didnt want "treasure hunters" looking for things. From reading the books by Fred Haise and John Young I learned how delicate the shuttle was. It was still a prototype after being launched in terms of how you classify aircraft. Haise was responsible for the landing process and Young commanded the first mission. When it comes back to Earth its basically a glider. If you ever watch a video of it's re entry it's remarkable how steep the dive back in was. It broke apart in the disaster not because of explosion itself but from aerodynamic forces from changing it's position when the giant tank it's attached to broke apart. The first shuttle launch was far from a sure thing. Two of the backup air supplies were activated indicating that not everyone died immediately. There was also some changes to the console of the Pilot showing that he or someone else had a chance to react. The netflix doc is infuriating. Managers basically overrode the engineers.

Jan 27 is the anniversary of Apollo 1 and Feb 1 for Columbia. NASA designates the last Thursday of January as their day of remembrance.

Maybe. But we also would be hearing every transgression the victim had in his life as if that justified it. with it being black on black the right wingers can cover the story safely since their viewers can ask themselves “did you see what those blacks did? They never learn.” It’s like a best of both worlds for their media.

Laurence Fishburne was 30 when they filmed that movie. 7 years older than Cuba.

But he didn’t say gangster. Another word that ended in -ER

Fox is all over this and I have to cynically wonder if it’s because the cops are black. That way they can alleviate the racist cop charges. They still have the killer cops to reconcile but this takes away some of the stigma.

I love when there's a tragedy and people say "Regardless of politics".... that means the person disagrees with them and is giving permission for sympathy.

are the others going to apologize for making fun of him?

I can say there's a not insignificant number of people here in Dearborn, while not quite defending him, are suggesting he's being targeted because of his religion and the fact he targeted Jews. They also frame it as a mental health issue. Kind of disappointing.

My guess would be he wants everyday playing time to hone something he's working on and to not sit on a bench, even if it means better food and accommodations after.

well they told us it was so...

Isn’t that also the fault of…. Everyone in this thread? Everyone wants the best rates for their investment. This is how it happens. I’m not saying this to point fingers or blame.

Yes. I did the verdict last week and have about 40 min left on the sting. I’m too old to watch a movie in one sitting. Shaw was great as you say. Five east pieces is another on my list.

One thing I liked was they didn't do that stupid thing like TWD where there's silence then suddenly there's a walker in front of you growling. Like you only hear it if you see it? Hearing the clicking while hiding to make your move is both more realistic and more important scarier.

They do send them but then they see the field and get taken back into the corn, never to be seen again. Finally the cops say "I'm not going there... you know how many guys went and don't come back? Just leave them be."

I bet the NHL the most. It's Sinclair isn't it? Bally's is just the "sponsor" so to speak. Bally's pays Sinclair to brand it Bally's Sports. Sinclair doesn't want you to know it's Sinclair. that's all I will say about that.

DirecTV dropped Newsmax because they insisted that DirecTV pay them. Now some jackhole in Congress wants to hold hearings because they were 'censored'. Republicans want to tell businesses how to operate. I thought they were against that.

which is justified by the fact that the National Archives KNEW what was missing in Trump's case and were asking for it whereas in Biden and Pence's situation nobody knew they were "missing". I viewed some of the just released JFK assassination records declassified a few weeks ago and it's things like "FBI agent called X and confirmed employment in 1959...."

If someone said that you can only view classified info in a SCIF then they are wrong. SCIF's are for certain types of classified info.

I use FB to follow some interests I have… like hobbies. Bands I like. Space history. My running comminity friends. And to keep in touch with some family and friends. I quit mentioning politics. Nobody cares. It only feeds the beast. I might comment on someone else’s stuff, in agreement. But I am pretty much done arguing. You won’t change anyone’s mind. I was put on some type of restriction on FB for quoting a line from the untouchables. It was a movie group. The topic was the untouchables. People were quoting it. I quoted Andy Garcia when he called Connery a “stinking Irish pig”

I'm a little slow... it took me a minute and I watched one of the videos in the replies to understand. Didn't realize the ethics at play. That's on the dealer?

Cheers was near the bottom in the ratings it’s first year and in danger of cancelling but someone, not sure if it was Tartikoff or someone else was smart enough to recognize the summer rerun ratings were climbing. but yes Taxi might be underrated even. It was one of my favorites.

I think today’s group of BBWAA voters put in both Lou and Tram.

I agree with what he's saying.... totally. I said earlier here that I wouldn't be surprised if every living former POTUS and VPOTUS had some classified docs mixed in with regular papers with no sinister motives. IT's what they do when they find out that matters. I just don't believe in his sincerity. After his shenanigans with Lewinsky impeachment vs. Trump impeachment along with the way he treated the SC appointments with regard to Garland and Barret.... he might be the most blatant hypocrite in Washington.
