Default Columbia Crash Caused By Fire in the Left Wheel Bay

Claims by NASA that a ten-pound chunk of soft water-resistant foam
caused "severe damage to the heat tiles on Columbia's port [left]
wing" are absurd. At the time the foam broke away from the main fuel
tank, shortly after launch, Columbia had a velocity of only 513-mph,
rendering the oblique glancing impact of the soft foam completely
insignificant.


Do you often make idiotic, easily disproved statements such as these
in public? If so, you make have a psychiatric disorder. I suggest
getting yourself to competent medical professionals as soon as possible.
