Nasa chiefs ‘repeatedly ignored’ safety warnings
“Fears of a catastrophic shuttle accident were raised last summer with the White House by a former Nasa engineer who pleaded for a presidential order to halt all further shuttle flights until safety issues had been addressed.
In a letter to the White House, Don Nelson, who served with Nasa for 36 years until he retired in 1999, wrote to President George W. Bush warning that his ‘intervention’ was necessary to ‘prevent another catastrophic space shuttle accident’.”

Attention conspiracy buffs!
“How could the best shuttle in our fleet not make a routine landing on a perfect weather day following a liftoff and mission routine that was completely trouble free.
My theory is that the chemical laser was tracking the shuttle as part of an SDI test, which everybody knows the Administration is obsessed about. NASA probably did not even know about it, and so didn’t know to tell the Defense Department about the tiles that fell off one wing at liftoff.
This allowed enough extra energy to build up in the shuttle (because of the tracking laser), that in addition to the reentry friction, a catastrophic structural failure resulted.”

Powell’s speech to be a non-event
That big speech Powell will make to the U.N. The one that was supposed to be an “Adlai Stevenson” moment, filled with stunning proof about WMD’s in Iraq.
Well, there is no smoking gun. No new evidence.
Why am I not surprised.
