SAN ANTONIO July 7 —
The team investigating the Columbia disaster fired a chunk of foam
insulation at shuttle wing parts Monday and blew open a gaping 2-foot
hole, offering dramatic evidence to support the theory of what doomed
the spaceship.

The crowd of about 100 gasped and cried, "Wow!" when the foam hit.

Well now, that's different.

Or, "let's keep firing bigger pieces of foam at the wing until we get
results that match our theory..."

Nevermind that the foam chunks are now much larger and travelling much
faster than the computer models predict for STS-107. I don't want to
start sounding like JTM, but there seems to be something a little
weird about these tests.
