[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Mum just woke me up before, and I've been watching the news since. I can't believe it. The wierd thing is I was watching a doco on the Discovery Channel like, 2 days ago and I tuned in at the re-entry bit - it showed a complete re-entry. Even that was scary - but I was astounded by the remarkably calm voice by the pilot. They have no electrical control during re-entry and it's essentially a gliding lump of metal!! Amazing - and to land it how they do. Sad day for America? Sad day for Space? Nay, a sad day for the World. I also had a dream about being in space the other night - probably after watching that doco on the Discovery channel - so when Mum wakes me up wit this news... I couldn't believe it. God Speed, Columbia and her crew. Andrew P.S. At 12am - Australian Eastern Standard Time - when the tragedy occured - I was sitting down to watch my DVD of "Contact" - which I hadn't seen before. FANTASTIC MOVIE! And while "The Machine" was being built. The Columbia was coming home. The message of the movie is quite profound and has an extra special significance after what has just happened.
