Re: columbia "debris" on ebay.
I wonder if that person actually would have paid 99 million dollars for that if they had won the auction...

Re: columbia "debris" on ebay.
LOL that is soooo not a part to a space shuttle. Whoever bidded on that item deserves to have his money taken from him.

Re: columbia "debris" on ebay.
Since the auction was a hoax, I'm sure the bidder's amount was also...

Re: columbia "debris" on ebay.
not to mention that I highly doubt that the space shuttle would have an injection valve.
The methods of science are manifestly effective, having made massive humanitarian contributions to society. It is this very effectiveness which the purveyors of mystical philosophies attack, because they recognise in it the chief threat to the belief-based source of their power and financial reward. -Harry Kroto, Nobel Laureate

Made out of plastic.
This was an incredibly stupid hoax.

Re: columbia "debris" on ebay.
While I agree that this was stupid, I don't think it was a hoax.
He said he found it in his backyard about an hour after the shuttle exploded. That is quite possibly true.
He said he found it at 50

Re: columbia "debris" on ebay.
It's like no aircraft part I've ever seen.
I agree it's a sprinkler part. Not some "fuel injection valve".
The shuttle uses high pressure turbine pumps ant the injectors certainly are NOT plastic.

Try German spirit in this case.
And yes, quake.ger@IRCNet is a real chat room. In their subject line is this link:

It was a very odd, very insensetive type of spam.
