[net.columbia] Addendum/Sabotage?

Someone who uses my BBS suggested to me recently that sabotage
may have played a role in the Challenger incident. They referred
to the sinking of the Lusitania which was rumored to be
smuggling arms to England. I think that sabotage had no such
role in the incident but this peson also said they would keep
the thought in their mind as long as they knew that "secret"
payloads are occasionally carried by the shuttle.

Also, I realize that I left part of President Reagan's speech
out of my last message. Hoping not to bore anyone by repeating
what I and others feel to be simple but comforting words, I
will repeat the last few lines again here.

"We will never forget them nor the last time we saw them, this
morning as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and
slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God."

"Thank you."
