12,500mph AND burning up on re-entry - Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus that's gotta smart! Obviously it's a tragedy, but what a spectacular one. AND it's got all the ingredients for a bad, made-for-TV 'drama'. The grizzled space-veteran, the four rookies, the black astronaut and the first Israeli, not to mention the amount of footage that could be poached...all in the best possible taste of course.

They didn't feel a thing though. Burning up on re-entry at that speed would have meant being burnt to ashes in a fraction of a second:

0.001 seconds:
All outer clothing and skin is stripped off

0.002 seconds:
All nerve endings and muscle tissue burnt away

0.003 seconds:
Remaining skin and bones turned to ash

See.

The person would probably have died of shock long before this all happens anyway. No pain - over in a flash.

Like I said - what a way to go...

But remember... They're all american heroes says the nasa spokesdude.

To be honest, if I'd have died in that shuttle, I'd prefer to have people going "What a way to go!" than have them writing poncy poetry about the gift that is life and stuff like that. Thats just me, though.

I understand how your topic is different though,although a little gruesome.

I don't think as many children will want to be astronauts after this though.

Hey, just wanted to add my views...and it's not everyday you get to see a spaceshuttle explode!

Wonder how long it'll be before some terrorist organisation tries to claim responsibility?

Don't we already have topics on this.
And why is everyone focusing on it so much?
