  1. Those birds were fully cooked by the time they hit the ground

  4. Probably some endangered species bird.  Then the wacko enviromentalists are going to sue NASA and have them move the space shuttle or figure out a way to blast off while protecting the birds.

  5. I think NASA already does a lot to try and run off as much wildlife as possible before a shuttle launch.

    According to their information (as best as I can remember it), if you happen to be standing within 400 feet of a shuttle launch the blast will kill you.

    If you are within 800 feet of the launch, the SOUND will kill you.

    And, if you’re within a mile or two, they say the danger from frenzied, terrified wildlife (alligators I suppose) would be pretty significant. So they spend some time buzzing around the swamps and marshlands in helicopters beforehand, I imagine to spot any dumbasses wandering around but also to frighten off whatever critters they can.

  6. I think they were serving fried chicken at the launch…
