Nothing was traveling at 500mph relative to the ground based cameras so visual appearance from the camera's perspective is misleading. The velocities at the time of impact were about 1870mph for the shuttle and 1370mph for the foam block, relative to the ground where the camera was located.

You believe anything NASA tells you?!?!?! You do know they are run by a bunch of nazi's.
If something is leaked like this then msm usually have to report on unless its something that affects the current status quo.
How small do you think it was?

One small panel would not have caused the shuttle to burn up

There was something else that happened and the test of a weapon of some sort is more likely to be true than any failure. Something stinks, and it ain't my feet here.

I do not believe this for one second. You always have a back up plan, I would day this all come down to the cost that the rescue be.

And I think this speaks highly of theories that NASA WOULD NOT TELL US, if there were indeed a deadly asteroid inbound, and instead would choose to let those die in ignorance of their upcoming fate.
Keep playing God, NASA. :shk:
THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW. After all, it is with our tax dollars that you function at all. Fricken jerks!
