Question:
Also they didn’t come from the zionazi enclave idiot.
Your religious and racist hatred just marks you as a ignoramous. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Can you also explain how they created the Nuculear and hydrogen bombs. Also much of America’s engineering theology and rocketry came from the Germams. In fact the first airborne rockets the Germans used were used against English cities and were called buzz bombs. Also the jet engine was created by Germany and they made our piston engine fighters easy prey. So in fact we can call America a nation of copy cats. They sure as hell didn’t come from the palestinians. The last thing the arabs invented was the number zero, which seems fitting. As for the German scientists, how many of them were jewish?

How funny….Is this really the first time you have noticed? :-)) Missing knowledge in so many other areas are definitely there–like how to be a norma "human being". But the above is his largest area of truly murderous, blind, total and forever hatred and loathing.

And it is rumored that China will place her first astronaught in orbit come October or there abouts this year. Where do you think the Chinese got the technology? Political kickbacks to Bill Clinton through the machinations of Al Gore. Plus, they don’t tend to worry about minor things like rockets blowing up and killing people. Just try crossing the street in Beijing, or better yet get some statistics related to public safety in China. On the other hand, maybe you get special discount with brast-off for six. The Chinese are very ingenious and they often work on high level projects and take the results (supposedly confidential and high profile) and just casually go home with the "goods" all in Chinese characters!!! I work at a very well known teaching medical center known for world class research. A Chinese researcher (also world class) came to collaborate with our people on a project (I think Cancer Treatments) he just took the results home. He was sued and all that happened was a warning. SO, we tread lightly around those folks to keep a sort-of friendship. But just like the downed jet, they got the info. Actually I wouldn’t have been so "wounded " about him taking parts of it, but researchers are like jungle lions. I am planning to go to China in the Fall and I will report back about the traffic and crowds, etc. Around my activites in the outer region institutions which include Traditional Chinese Medicine, I go to Beijing and to Hong Kong–a place I have not seen since the Chinese took over from the British. Work and fun. Norma

Moron. The grammer is correct. It’sthe rabid hatred and anti-Semitism that chokes you. Victory to the Paleistineians and death and destruction to the hated zionazi enclave. And may the christian findalmental southren bigots choke on the hatred they spew.
Let’s see… "grammer" should be "grammar" "Its’sthe" should probably be two words. "Paleistineians" should be "Palestinians" "zionazi" is an invention "findalmental" should be "fundamentalist" "southren" should be "southern" I don’t usually critique other peoples’ postings, but if you’re going to trumpet how well you write, it’s best to make as few errors as possible.

Some were or had Jewish connections. Schopenhauer (?sp) was the wonderful guy with the bombs for use. I am a German and when I lived there and was going to school, the decent Germans were almost afraid of starting a national army or letting scientists stay in Germany because of the fact that TWO world wars had been started out of Germany.

In looking at the name, I believe it was "Schoeppenheimer". He was a pure scientist who didn’t pay much attention to the destructive power of whet he put together. Physics labs are full of these kinds of people. He lived to regret what he had done with fusion and life for him and his family was pure "he*l" afterward. Norma

Ah the zionazis are desperate for damage control. Losing their poster boy to God’s vengence has them tumbeling like the last tumble weed of the season. Drifting from hither to thither. On a course that they know not. Now they are reverting back to their diaper days. A empyty pottie but a loaded diaper. Phew. Chage it brats, you stink.

It is more often times that when political decisions are made priority to scientitic priorities that disasters happen. And Bush like Reagan put grand standing ahead of science. And the Israeli PM minister really angers me. With his arrogant remarks that the death of the so called israeli astronaught, will not stop Israel’s research in space. In the first place Israel has no Israeli space program. But shares information with the American scientific community. Which is then used against us. Also which Israel pays not one dollar to.

Secondly it is a American disaster, in as much as now, China will overtake us in the race for space exploitation as NASA must now close down to find out what really happened. And it is rumored that China will place her first astronaught in orbit come October or there abouts this year. Thirdly, also tho not generally known the military has practaially taken over the decisions over what NASA experinments will be conducted.

It is well known that the only thing the American Military is concerned with is Star Wars, not pure scientific research. So in fact what Congress is saying, you miliary we give you every thing you want while saying to NASA, we haven’t the money and also it not as politically convient. Science doesn’t generate votes. So let us really condemn the real purveyors of this latest tragedy. The American politicians and their money boys. Will the much more expensive effort to build a manned International Space Station end too? In cost and justification, it’s as dubious as the shuttle. The two programs are each other’s mirror images. The space station was conceived mainly to give the shuttle a destination, and the shuttle has been kept flying mainly to keep the space station serviced. Three crew members-Expedition Six, in NASA argot-remain aloft on the space station. Probably a Russian rocket will need to go up to bring them home. The wisdom of replacing them seems dubious at best. This second shuttle loss means NASA must be completely restructured-if not abolished and replaced with a new agency with a new mission. Why did NASA stick with the space shuttle so long? Though the space shuttle is viewed as futuristic, its design is three decades old. The shuttle’s main engines, first tested in the late 1970s, use hundreds more moving parts than do new rocket-motor designs. The fragile heat-dissipating tiles were designed before breakthroughs in materials science. Until recently, the flight-deck computers on the space shuttle used old 8086 chips from the early 1980s, the sort of pre-Pentium electronics no self-respecting teenager would dream of using for a video game.

*** I’m inclined to agree with you. I haven’t seen much scientific co-operation from Israel in the past. But then they don’t really need to spend much on it, as they will get everything America knows anyhow. Secondly it is a American disaster, in as much as now, China will overtake us in the race for space exploitation as NASA must now close down to find out what really happened.

*** It’s more than a rumour, I read it somewhere, is a fact.- but they have to go a long way yet to catch up with America, and personally I don’t think that the competition will do any harm. It isn’t good to have any one Nation all powerful, in my opinion that is.

FWIW… some college professor who claims to be some kind of expert on the space effort said on the radio yesterday that the shuttle has been a failure as a cheaply-reusable launch vehicle. He claimed that it costs more to refurbish the shuttle for each re-use than it would to use throw-away vehicles, but that NASA has so much political and financial investment in the shuttle that they can’t afford to ditch it, nor do they even begin to have the funding for a total re-design based on what they’ve learned from the mistakes. Whatever the truth of that, he made a good point that if cheaply-reusable vehicles are so expensive to build that you can only afford a handful, your manned-space effort will suffer a severe setback if even one vehicle goes down. In this case I think NASA had four very busy shuttles and no way to build another in a hurry. So, with the loss of one shuttle they just lost 100% of their manned-space capability until they can find and fix the cause of the problem, and even after shuttles are launching again they’ve lost 25% of their manned-vehicle capability for at least the next 5-10 years.

Where do you think the Chinese got the technology? Political kickbacks to Bill Clinton through the machinations of Al Gore. Plus, they don’t tend to worry about minor things like rockets blowing up and killing people. Just try crossing the street in Beijing, or better yet get some statistics related to public safety in China. On the other hand, maybe you get special discount with brast-off for six.

*** I’d sooner say it was a very tragic accident which will probably
keep them grounded for quite a while. veranda : I just learned from the following link about the hardness of the insulation that came off the external tank : it’s hard as a brick ! http://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/03/national/03CND_SHUT.html Excerpt from the end of the article : " As investigators look into the insulating foam – which looks like shaving cream when it is applied to the shuttle’s 15-story fuel tanks, but dries hard as a brick – NASA is also facing questions about how it handled warnings of possible safety problems. Last year, when a panel of experts warned of potential safety troubles unless NASA bigger budget, the space agency removed five of the panel’s nine members and two of its consultants. Some of them now say NASA is trying to suppress their criticisms. A sixth member of the safety advisory panel – Bernard M. Kauderer, a retired three-star admiral – was so upset at the dismissals that he quit. NASA said it changed the group’s charter to make room for younger and more skilled members. " I have seen videos about the heat-tiles where they were cutting them with knives . You don’t need to be an expert to worry about the brick hard insulation hitting the delicate tiles at that speed ! Why did the insulation cracked and separated ? It’s obvious the contractor’s fault : the metal surface of the tank was not cleaned’prepared properly for the foam ( insulation ) application or the foam was not applied/mix properly at that location . They need to find the external tank ( I hope they don’t find any bullet holes ) . I see the Space program back on track within two month .

So in fact what Congress is saying, you miliary we give you every thing you want while saying to NASA, we haven’t the money and also it not as politically convient. Science doesn’t generate votes. So let us really condemn the real purveyors of this latest tragedy. The American politicians and their money boys.
Will the much more expensive effort to build a manned International Space
Station end too? In cost and justification, it’s as dubious as the shuttle. The two programs are each
other’s mirror images. The space station was conceived mainly to give the shuttle a destination, and the
shuttle has been kept flying mainly to keep the space station serviced. Three crew members-Expedition Six, in
NASA argot-remain aloft on the space station. Probably a Russian rocket will need to go up to bring them home.
The wisdom of replacing them seems dubious at best. This second shuttle loss means NASA must be completely
restructured-if not abolished and replaced with a new agency with a new mission. Why did NASA stick with the space shuttle so long? Though the space
shuttle is viewed as futuristic, its design is three decades old. The shuttle’s main engines, first tested in
the late 1970s, use hundreds more moving parts than do new rocket-motor designs. The fragile
heat-dissipating tiles were designed before breakthroughs in materials science. Until recently, the flight-deck
computers on the space shuttle used old 8086 chips from the early 1980s, the sort of pre-Pentium electronics no
self-respecting teenager would dream – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – of using for a video game.
