Apollo 14 re-entry, astronauts burned to death.
We'll have to tell the crew that. I'm sure they'll be surprised. |

Scroll down to the finest Chinese space capsule.
Look at it carefully: it shows some burns but, like your astrobuffoons Aldrin and Armstrong, the two Chinese astroswindlers have come out as they had been in the cool of the evening.
Is Bush in trouble with CIA?

Can't verify it, but I think that Bush is roundly despised by the CIA, it's rank and file, anyway. But he's not in trouble with it per se. They are not going to do a wet job on him. Howsomever, he is in a lot of political deep-shit with almost everyone else and if a presidential election were held today, he'd be soundly defeated by almost any candidate with the ability to walk and chew gum at he same time.
Just because the capsule got scorched on the outside doesn't mean that the astronauts had to become fried rice inside, and the whole insulation topic was covered to the point of despair in a couple of other threads.

But you have never seen the Chinese re-entry from space.
All gullible people think two Chinese men went to space. Have you seen how it's easy to swindle people in our gullible world?
You have done the same thing
All gullible people believed you went to the moon. |

Then you think the Chinese went to space and came back.
Do you really think so?

Didn't see the Chinese, but in this case, I'll take their word for it, as well as the word of all of the amature space addicts who keep track of these things with telescopes.
Howsomever, I did see one of these come down:
Dunno, it might have even been this one....

I too enjoy a little science fiction, now and again. I especally like it because so much of it is based on actual science.
On the other hand, I have small patience with the sort of fantasy that passes itself off as SF. There is a difference, you know.
And then, there's this:
The Friggin' Falcon
I went out to take a friggin' walk by the friggin' reservoir,
a-wishin' for a friggin' quid to pay my friggin' score,
my head it was a-achin' and my throat was parched and dry,
and so I sent a little prayer, a-wingin' to the sky...
And there came a friggin' falcon and he walked upon the waves,
and I said, "A friggin' miracle!" and sang a couple staves,
of a friggin' churchy ballad I learned when I was young.
The friggin' bird took to the air, and spattered me with dung.
I fell upon my friggin' knees and bowed my friggin' head,
and said three friggin' Aves for all my friggin' dead,
and then I got upon my feet and said another ten.
The friggin' bird burst into flame - and spattered me again.
The burnin' bird hung in the sky just like a friggin' sun.
It seared my friggin' eyelids shut, and when the job was done,
the friggin' bird flashed cross the sky just like a shootin' star.
I ran to tell the friggin' priest - he bummed my last cigar.
I told him of the miracle, he told me of the Rose,
I showed him bird crap in my hair, the bastard held his nose.
I went to see the bishop but the friggin' bishop said,
"Go home and sleep it off, you sod - and wash your friggin' head!"
Then I came upon a friggin' wake for a friggin' rotten swine,
by the name of Jock O'Leary and I touched his head with mine,
and old Jock sat up in his box and raised his friggin' head.
His wife took out a forty-four, and shot the bastard dead.
Again I touched his head with mine and brought him back to life.
His smiling face rolled on the floor, this time she used a knife.
And then she fell upon her knees, and started in to pray,
"It's forty years, O Lord," she said, "I've waited for this day."
So I walked the friggin' city 'mongst the friggin' halt and lame,
and every time I raised them up, they got knocked down again,
'cause the love of God comes down to man in a friggin' curious way,
but when a man is marked for love, that love is here to stay.
And this I know because I've got a friggin' curious sign;
for every time I wash my head, the water turns to wine!
And I gives it free to workin' blokes to brighten up their lives,
so they don't kick no dogs around, nor beat up on their wives.
'Cause there ain't no use to miracles like walkin' on the sea;
They crucified the Son of God, but they don't muck with me!
'Cause I leave the friggin' blind alone, the dyin' and the dead,
but every day at four o'clock, I wash my friggin' head!
-- Theodore R. Cogswell, 1966
Just a suggestion....

| You seem very convinced that no one has ever travelled in space. Is this something you have decided just because, or do you have a reason to believe that spaceflight is a big hoax? |

When can you say a spacecraft is in space?
