Is it me, or has the agency's seemingly endless string of bad luck now entered the realm of the absurd? It would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic.

If I didn't know better I'd swear NASA was cursed.

Cursed,

or...


Someone's plotting against them.

I'll take off the "Conspiracy Theory" hat now.

I blame the episode of Medium that aired three weeks ago. Same plot.

Oh, SNAP! Thankfully no one was killed. Hope those folks who were injured weren't serious.


Funny, tho, I thought that link was going to lead to something I just saw on CNN about some of the other astronauts talking about Nowak on her previous shuttle mission. They've not got anything nice to say about her, either....

 

[Lloyd Collins]

I had nothing to do with the derailing, just because I live in Alabama.

Damn, more bad news, apparently Wally Schirra died this morning, though of course that's not NASA's fault.

...or is it...conspirist minds want to know!

Unless, of course, he's one of the ones who claimed to see UFO's ? Hmmmm ???

If Wally had seen a UFO, nobody would have ever made him shut-up about it. Wally always has a few issues with authority, most notably on Apollo 7 when he essentially told mission control that he wasn't putting on his helmet for re-entry despite orders to(he had a cold), and there wasn't a darn thing they could do about it.

The guy was a true original. And he flew on all three programs, Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo.
