"Is there any way this could be terrorism?"

I don't know. I was thinking of something using satelite technology. We may never know. Of course, terrorists usually like to take credit for their work, but they most certainly know there would be little glory in this kind of an attack because it seems it would be nearly impossible to prove or disprove. I think more likely we have just come to take for granted the safety of the space shuttle and forget just how many risk factors there actually are.

Jim Lovell (Apollo 13) on Sky News - says it could be an explosion rather than a breakup in flight.
