Another Space Shuttle Just Exploded

how's this for ironic, someone told me that parts of the shuttle landed on a town in texas called palestine.

Palestine Texas is just a coincidence at this point no more significant than if the debri had been sited falling over Paris Texas or Plano Texas.

Most pieces are being found in Nacogdoches. (American Indian word in origin)

come on, sure it's a coincidence, but it is also ironic that an Israeli was on board the shuttle and parts of that shuttle landed in Palestine..... Texas.

...

She became an astronaut in 1994. On her first space flight, she was blamed for making mistakes that sent a science satellite tumbling out of control. Other astronauts went on a space walk to capture it.

India Today magazine reported that NASA had absolved Chawla, rating her a "terrific astronaut," and saying the accident had resulted from a series of small errors.

Thsi is the first thing I have read about her. The media doesn't give a shit about an Indian. It's all about the Israeli's first time in space

Personally i don't know what is a big deal...its still a US shuttle, you can send a monkey in it. Let those guys develop their own space programs, then they can celebrate. National hero with borrowed identity, education and shuttle, eh? Also did NASA absolved this Indian lady before or after recent accident?
