Post #260,815 by admin 7/5/06 6:42:01 PM Reply	No, really? I didn't know that! Honestly! Amazing, the things you learn on the intarweb! It's almost as if a recent shuttle exploded because it got hit by falling foam! That would sure make people sit up and take notice! Man, what a bummer that would be. We should of course concentrate on the foam and the return flight, then, because shuttles actually making it into space without exploding are a humdrum occurrence, almost not worth watching or commenting on. And since I had NO idea about the dangers of reentry, given that I was so obviously fixated on the shuttle launch, I'm glad that you've taken the time to educate me about the particularly troublesome aspects of foam impacts during launch, since of course the trick is getting down, after all.

Post #260,818 by admin 7/5/06 7:02:11 PM Reply	Absolutely! I would appreciate you posting more about it, just so that I am properly schooled on the full spectrum of foamish danger. I am obviously quite ignorant where foam and danger are concerned... probably too many peaceful hours spent playing with largely innocuous foam products in the halcyon days of my youth. I've had very rewarding interactions with foam in the form of contraceptives as well, so I'm sure that's coloring my attitude. So in order that we can have a proper conversation about foam and its attendant dangers, please hold forth! Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
