Thanks for the heads up Jim. Glad to see you back here, you've been gone a while.
I will check out your links now. I just wanted to say welcome back first.

eta Just finished the articles and must say that you did a fine job (again) in reporting.
It is hopeful to think that when NASA decides to revamp the space program, they will be as vigilant with safety as was the case in the early days. Deadlines and dollars shouldn't replace common sense.

In the Conspiracy realm I call this Damage control or sheep herding...

Thanks for turning on the lights in the room maybe it will illuminate some.... but I really think they're not going to give up number 10 (Haarp) no matter what we try to say.

Who are the real sheep? Works both ways.

Here's another one for you:

Prior to the last words heard from Columbia: "Roger, uh, bu...", the pilot said something that was interpreted by NASA as "and, uh, Hou..." - a fairly pointless phrase because it was isolated.

In fact, if you listen to the audio, he's fairly clearly saying "Feeling the heat", referring to the Shuttle's control systems strugging with the unusual situation.

The smoking gun evidence came to my desk in the form of photos from a Western intelligence service, which had intercepted satellite images from three Israeli mini-satellites (each smaller than a basketball). The observation satellites had earlier been launched from the Columbia to record the laser gun’s effectiveness. The series of color images clearly showed that NASA lied about the Columbia catching fire below its left wing. The only heat from the left wing came momentarily from the laser gun, and not from friction during re-entry.

For those who do not believe in HAARP and all the bullcrap of the IMF and the bogus "military" arm of the corporate "U.S." I think this goes a long way to explaining so many things!!

Sure -- invisible satellites for an invisible gun for an invisible mission -- plenty of evidence.

You know, using the coffins of brave spaceflight victims as soapboxes for crackpot agendas is more than a little, uh, un-nice.

And where might these photos be?

Didn't see them in your link...

ETA: Surely its not the photo at the top of the article??

That's from a movie!

Keep believing the bull#, just like Sandy hook was real. Why can't you people get a grip on reality, did none of the other things happen, the water spouts? Yes, I saw the reports on them. HAARP, yes it does exist and does work, Tesla had a working model, could have split the world in half had he had enough power to run it. It is a sad day when doubt and BS rule the day. Having worked in physics and currently in metalurgy, the small piece of insulation that was missing, or ALLEGED to be missing, would not have caused the disaster. There is so much more info out there, but lets keep perpetrating the lies shall we. How about doing some real investigations instead of eating all the BS the government feeds you people.Yes I looked into more than just this one article. I do have friends who have worked in Houston at NASA and I have worked with/on some NASA parts for the shuttle program. So I do know a bit about the construction and the dynamics of it. Small minds will never grow with BS as fertilizer, it only works on the crops in the dirt fields.

Good articles, Jim.

The way I usually determine who has the best grip on reality, is by seeing who presents the most verifiable evidence to support their claims.

Right now, that doesn't seem to be you.

Interesting 'anecdote' (for lack of a better word) about this terrible disaster - in 2003 one of my partner's best friends was completing her training as a forensic pathologist. She had been contracted by the British government, but - as is common - was sent to America to train with the FBI.

Anyhow, during this training the Columbia disaster occured and she was invited to view the remains of some of the astronauts who sadly lost their lives. In one case, the body was left almost untouched - aside from a perfectly semi-circular, perfectly cauterised piece taken from the abdomen. She'd never seen anything like it, even if her medical textbooks.

Just goes to show how dangerous space exploration can be. Those poor people.

I'm not a grammar or spelling nazi, and cut a lot of slack for typos and misspellings that just don't matter, but when you claim to be working in a specialization, it REALLY diminishes your cred when you can't spell it right.
