You got it. Bottom line is that in this age of terrorism, a lot of mishaps, tragedies, and accidents will be viewed with suspicion as to terrorism. In Columbias case, this was mentioned shortly after the accident and since a lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes, I suspect the terrorism possibility was investigated well.<br /><br />Its certainly possible that terrorists would want to strike at Israel but if one remotely thinks like a terrorist which one must do as far as trying to figure out what targets terrorists might go after. There are much easier ways to do damage to Israel or even the U.S.<br /><br />I looked myself, not being a professional in the space business I can only rely on media information which one can sometimes spot B.S. in media reports or even simple human error in reporting. I was satisfied with what I saw being reported as the highly probable cause of the Columbia disaster. The initial launch vid, the subsequesnt reports and videos of tests conducted on the foam to see if it could actually breach the RCC and it did. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.
