STS-124 Discovery: Is it possible it will have a disintegration onreentry a'la Space Shuttle Columbia?

*clink of many glasses, 7 times 7 in honor of the Columbia astronauts,
followed by one for the Challenger astronauts*

you know how it goes.... garbage-in, garbage-out, and, when it is
stuck on top of the queue, last in, first out!

Yes, that is what we have to hope for. Although the Columbia
disintegration was not nearly as fantastic or well documented in
pictures as the Challenger explosion, if it were just a disintegration
of Discovery, that would well be worth the price of admission.

Many, myself included, have always suspected the lack of pictures from
the Columbia 'tragedy' showed that the govenment covered up as much
documentation as possible from that event. The government could not
do so nearly as well regarding the explosion of Challenger: that bird
did not fly very far from the nest, before it miraculously and
wonderously went all a-wiggle.

Yes, and there WAS a lot of damage done to the launchpad when
skytrain3 (discovery - challenger was skytrain1, and columbia was
skytrain2) went to the heavens - the most ever, so one has got to hope
we get to see another good show when discovery 'comes home'. It is
not like we did not pay for it, you know......

astronauts*
