I'm sure everyone feels for the families just now, I know I do.

DAMN! that's weird. They don't indicate what happened at all in there.. they mention altitude and that it shattered.. but beyond that nothing. I guess they have no idea. I like how the gound crew is quick to shout "it's not my fault" and Bush is saying how it's easy to forget to pay attention when something becomes routine. Yet none of them even know what happened. What if it were a meteor should not ground control have seen that unless it was one of those mico ones. like bullets they are.
anyway, it's sad.. but also weird. They can't tell us any ideas as to what caused a ship to explode on decent?

I think the latest idea is that it was the base carbon tiles
All they are saying is the damage is consistent with the structure being heated, which would indictate somehtign liek the failure of that protective layer
how the SCMEG are we going to make it to MARS?!
