I was flamed yesterday for posting Scripture.

I'm very sorry about that; yesterday was a day to mourn and a day to learn; how else are we to learn than by sharing ideas and thoughts and words?

I appreciate your words and the time you took to post them; I admit their meaning is way beyond my comprehension, but isn't that what life is? Gathering facts and trying to make sense out of them and applying them to situations we face every single day.

And I honestly believe that if we don't learn from past writings, we are doomed in the future.

Ignore those who flamed you; they are just afraid of other opinions than their own.

Thanks for the thread. Speaking for myself, I need to see the pictures and it's helpful to be able to find them in a documentary thread. The Helmet is disturbing, in the way a memento mori is disturbing. But we should feel it, we should know what is lost in these intimate terms.

What of the four war dead from last week? It was a blip on the radio news...

Not here. We discussed it and mourned.

Apparently you have fallen victim to the very media you despise.

You're not going to be very happy at FR.

At least they can spell "buffoon."

What are those patches made of? Are they meant to withstand a lot of physical stressors and high temps?

Isn't it almost miraculous that with the force and weight of some of this debris, it didn't land on anyone, a mall parking lot, or a subdivision?

I commend you for using the height="" width="" parameters in your images and urge everyone posting to this thread to do likewise. It really saves page-load time for us modem-impaired folks.

The "waffle pattern" stuff in #2 looks like the inconel thermal insulation on the main engines.

Off to some other unsuspecting site to whine about its free speech being censored, no doubt.

Or perhaps to write a column? :-)
