re: #16 Our Precious Bodily Fluids

You know, I’m not exactly sure how this is possible, but somehow today is the 10th anniversary of the space shuttle Columbia disaster.

And SURPRISE! NASA knew Columbia crew could die but chose not to tell them

I found this to be a major flaw in the story.

Video of Columbia’s takeoff showed a briefcase-sized chunk of foam breaking off an engine and colliding with the shuttle’s wing, gouging a hole in the shield designed to protect the craft from the furious heat generated as it crossed from the vacuum of space into the atmosphere.
