Columbia Space Shuttle Re-Entry

by Betty Gosling

A Californian amateur photographer took photos of the shuttle's re-entry, which show apparent electric activity around the shuttle as it re-enters the atmosphere. A red and other coloured flashes are seen. Some debris from the shuttle has now been recovered in California showing that it began to break up before it got to Texas airspace. There had been over-heating problems on two previous shuttle re-entries, but none serious enough to cause an accident or to prevent a safe landing. In the Geodetic chart,the Aquarius stellium is indicative of electrical activity and computers taking over, since it's all in the 1st.

Ominously, Uranus is exactly square the MC, Neptune is also conjunct the Part of Fortune exactly, but sextile Mars, also exactly. With Venus ruling the third house of travel and fourth house of arriving home, exactly semi-square Neptune ruling this second house and closely sextile Uranus, semi-sextile MC, it suggests "a hell of a bump".

The Moon in Aquarius rules the sixth house and is exactly semi-sextile Chiron, ruling the eighth house of death. Pluto is exactly conjunct the eleventh cusp and receives no other aspects. Neptune is collapse, and here he is exactly conjunct the Part of Fortune and semi-sextile Venus in the eleventh house, so could something have been jolted out of place with the jolt of hitting the atmosphere, possibly too fast? Was the angle of re-entry too extreme in some way?

There does seem to have been a misjudgment or mistake, presumably by the computer since they take over on re-entry. I can't quite dismiss the idea of an overload due to Solar wind in some way, Jupiter opposing several positions in the first house must have a noticeable and unexpected effect. He rules this 11th containing Venus who rules the third house relating to the wheel-bay presumably, where the overheating penetrated into the main body of the shuttle. Jupiter is in very hot Leo and disposes Venus while Opposing Neptune. The Sun and the Moon in the first house, which could suggest a piece of space debris hitting the shuttle and making a hole big enough to allow hot plasma to enter and instantly (Uranus and Aquarius in an Aries house) create a fatal holocaust. The vertex sits in the seventh house of balance and close companions exactly square to the Nodes across the 4th/10th axis. The fate of the Columbia shuttle and the unfortunate astronauts was sealed.
