This photo orginal color? That look volcanic to you? NOPE...
Clouds are acidic, that's hilarious, and clearly a coverup of life.

CAPE CANAVERAL -- Everything appeared normal June 5, 2002, as shuttle
Endeavour thundered to orbit from Kennedy Space Center through hazy

After reading the description of Mullane hypothesizing how the
Commander and Pilot of Challenger would have been making all efforts to
"restart" the blank systems and "fly" the orbiter, something seems to
have been missed.  It seems that when the cabin seperated from the

At 9:03 a.m. EST, the Pegasus rocket carrying three ST5
