A few comments from various slime around the world:


Col. Qaddafi said he was "deeply saddened ... Those who died were victims of
imperialist impatience ... to control space for the purposes of war".

Radio Venceremos, speaking for El Salvador's communist guerrillas called the
dead astronauts "war criminals" and said, "We share the happiness felt by those
who reject and condemn US imperialism's warmongering policies".

Gus Hall, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the US, claimed the loss
of the Challenger was due to "a new secret explosive material carried aboard to
test under conditions of weightlessness".
