Guess again... The reentry heating depends on the speed/altitude reached,
NOT if you have completed a full orbit...

Right, they would be IMPOSSIBLE to see, since NO such capability exists.

No, "supporting evidence" is IMPOSSIBLE to find when something is dreamed up
by people with such a POWERFUL imagination and even MORE powerful ignorance.

Oh, brother... So first your Columbia was destroyed, and then "Enterprise"??
Just *WHO* is BUILDING (and LAUNCHING) all these seemingly ENDLESS Shuttles
of yours?   I'm sure you don't remember all the TIME/MONEY/EFFORT it took
to get the Endeavour funded and built.

Of course *ALL* of this in relation to the Enterprise is total NONSENSE,
since it ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY had NO engines OR tiles.  Even the most
casual inspection by the most unknowing of persons can see that VERY easily.  
The one and ONLY Enterprise (OV-101) is now in a Smithsonian hanger...

Yea, sure.  :-)

 >THEY HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED BY THEIR TEACHERS ...

I would HOPE they had been "programmed" to tell the difference between
FACT and (very) wild fantasy...  Clearly some have NOT.  :->

In addition to a 100% total ignorance of the Space Transportation System,
perhaps the most telling part of this whole fictional posting was the
talk about "John Young and Robert Crippen 'entities'"..<heh>  I'm afraid
that shows all to obviously the rantings of a 100% certifiable WACKO! :-)

If Crip was a replicant, then just WHO was running the Space Shuttle program
for all that time?  What about all those NASA press conferences he was at?
I wonder if the congress had to pass any special waivers to allow "entities"
to testify before their committees?? 

Enquiring minds want to know!  :-)
