- Guess again... The reentry heating depends on the speed/altitude reached,

- Right, they would be IMPOSSIBLE to see, since NO such capability exists.

-
- No, "supporting evidence" is IMPOSSIBLE to find when something is dreamed up
- by people with such a POWERFUL imagination and even MORE powerful ignorance.

- Oh, brother... So first your Columbia was destroyed, and then "Enterprise"??
- Just *WHO* is BUILDING (and LAUNCHING) all these seemingly ENDLESS Shuttles
- of yours? I'm sure you don't remember all the TIME/MONEY/EFFORT it took
- to get the Endeavour funded and built.
-
- Of course *ALL* of this in relation to the Enterprise is total NONSENSE,
- since it ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY had NO engines OR tiles. Even the most
- casual inspection by the most unknowing of persons can see that VERY easily.
- The one and ONLY Enterprise (OV-101) is now in a Smithsonian hanger...

- Yea, sure. :-)
-
- >THEY HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED BY THEIR TEACHERS ...
-
- I would HOPE they had been "programmed" to tell the difference between
- FACT and (very) wild fantasy... Clearly some have NOT. :->
-
- In addition to a 100% total ignorance of the Space Transportation System,
- perhaps the most telling part of this whole fictional posting was the
- talk about "John Young and Robert Crippen 'entities'"..<heh> I'm afraid
- that shows all to obviously the rantings of a 100% certifiable WACKO! :-)
-
- If Crip was a replicant, then just WHO was running the Space Shuttle program
- for all that time? What about all those NASA press conferences he was at?
- I wonder if the congress had to pass any special waivers to allow "entities"
- to testify before their committees??
-
- Enquiring minds want to know! :-)
