what is strange is in the second grade i was a creepy little kid and we watched this live on tv...as the scattered remains of that shuttle were falling i eerily said ..they're still alive outloud.. i was smacked hard by a nun.. i don't know why i said it ..as a kid random words would pop into my head and i'd say them...idk tourettes. I was eerily shocked to find that i may have been correct some years later. Also that day was my best friends birthday and i called and said i was glad she had a blast of a birthday that year.

I remember speculation in the media, but this seems to make their consciousness probable. If I thought I could imagine it, I would try not to.

Speaking of being alive while falling from the sky, - did you ever imagine what fighter pilots were going through in the old days without ejection systems?

Something to read and think about:

And that's why I'm happy to keep my feet firmly planted at ground level, space is fascinating and all, but fuck that noise. I'm not to keen on them "flying machines" either.

Too bad NASA didn't endeavor better safety standards for the program.
