NASA now thinks that something other than insulation from the booster hitting the left wing of the space shuttle Columbia during liftoff caused the shuttle to disintegrate on re-entry.

A photograph taken by an amateur astronomer in San Francisco showing a bolt of energy striking the shuttle just as the re-entry maneuver began has been sent to NASA for analysis.

There was a coronal mass ejection from the sun reaching the earth during the period that the shuttle was re-entering the atmosphere. This CME was not in itself unusual, but it could have charged the shuttle’s tiles with an electrical charge. If sufficiently high, this charge would have caused a potentially damaging discharged as the shuttle touched the upper atmosphere.

It’s also chilling to students who like to surf the internet for new information, since now your internet travels can be read by the Feds.

According to U.S. intelligence, al-Qaeda is planning a new attack as big as September 11, although it may have been disrupted by arrests of terrorists during the past few months.”The attack will be large-scale,” one official says. The major attack will be preceded by smaller-scale strikes, including assassinations of prominent people in the United States. The government hasn’t said whether the attacks will be in the U.S. or abroad.

A defense official says, “Bin Laden basically always thought three steps ahead, would have plans in the works, multiple plans, not just one. Some of those plans, we believe, are still out there. Some of them could be quickly implemented, possibly, or at least reconstituted.”
