Nah, that foam wouldnt have done it....I think that some big debris hit the shuttle right when it was entering our atmosphere and damaged the wing and then a whole bunch of malfunctions wnet on or sumthing like that.

The landing preocedure has to be basically flawless... One little mistake can result in, well... this.

It says there's no indication of terrorism but it wouldn't have to besomeone who shot at the ship... There's probablly other ways to do something like that...

Maybe it was one of those Titan missles that can go in space and it tracked the Shuttles heat and then exploded NEAR it and damaged it just enough for it to start falling apart and then finally burn up into nothing.

...Either way, this just pushed back space exploration at least two years like Chalenger did... And 7 people are gone...
