    My first question is. Would you say that a rocket destined for space carries more fuel than any of the planes that hit the twin towers? Yes or no?

    I'll wait for an answer before i go on:confused:

    Ok. So after watching about 30 or so rockets blow up on the launch pad before they even got off the ground, i realised something strange. All of the steel towers on the launchpads were still there when the smoke and flames were gone. They must have super duper fire resistant paint. Unlike the ones that melted in the towers?.;)

    Probably because they're designed with the possibility of something like that happening in mind and are designed to resist great heat and force?

    Wouldn't you expect the same in 2 buildings that high?

    Foam/water would put out the fire fairly quickly.I think the towers were blown up it's fairly obvious.

    I always knew we were nutjobs. There must have been a conspiracy to hide this from us apparently.

    You noticed they don't slam the rocket into the stand at 500mph right?
