They challenged the frontier of human knowledge.

It maybe they challenged the risk and danger and it was an adventure anyhow. But such names as 'Challenger', 'Titanic' [which means the 'mighty'] and others imply the haughtiness and boasting in addition to the conceit.
While other expressions like 'We put trust in God' and 'We seek God's help' indicate the submission to God and seeking His blessings and grace.

Such boasting and conceit will almost turn to failure.

Let me see if I have this right. . . Challengers successes were all to Allah's credit, and its destruction was the fault of humans, right?

This is my deduction, that such failure was because of their conceit, boasting and atheism.


I can line up hundreds of Muslim clerics who'll say otherwise.
hundreds or thousands of Muslim clerics will not change the truth. It is an impression in the conscience of the American and Iraqi people, and it is the convincing of people in America in general and all over the world.


Didn't take long to smoke you out, did it?

The people whom you speak about will inherit the earth, as written in the Psalms of David.

Your claim that Allah even exists is a mere assertion, backed by zero evidence.
God is the Absolute Truth, and what atheists assert in nothing but the falsehood, and they will perish like their fathers to be disappointed in the afterlife.
Anyhow, the chief of atheists in this time: Hawkins, when was asked in the famous interview with the bishop of England; he said: I am not certain that God does not exist.

Yeah, but that's way too long to paint on the side of a Shuttle.

When the last soldier leaves it to him in his will.

And you claim to speak for Allah? How's that pay?

Who the heck is Hawkins? Never heard of him.

The Space Shuttle Challenger was, of course, as I'm sure you knew, named after the Royal Navy Pearl-class corvette HMS Challenger, which was launched on 13th February 1858 at Woolwich Dockyard.



She was picked to undertake the first global marine research expedition: the Challenger expedition. To enable her to probe the depths, all but two of the Challenger's guns had been removed and her spars reduced to make more space available. Laboratories, extra cabins and a special dredging platform were installed. She was loaded with specimen jars, alcohol for preservation of samples, microscopes and chemical apparatus, trawls and dredges, thermometers and water sampling bottles, sounding leads and devices to collect sediment from the sea bed and great lengths of rope with which to suspend the equipment into the ocean depths. In all she was supplied with 181 miles (291km) of Italian hemp for sounding, trawling and dredging. The Challenger's crew was the first to sound the deepest part of the ocean, thereafter named the Challenger Deep.

The Challenger carried a complement of 243 officers, scientists and crew when she embarked on her 68,890-nautical-mile (127,580 km) journey.

She was commissioned as a Coast Guard and Royal Navy Reserve training ship at Harwich in July 1876.


The Challenger Deep, the deepest point of Earth's oceans...


... and Space Shuttle Challenger were named after HMS Challenger

Do you boast to us with your transgression?
I expect dark future [shortly coming] to the people of the (atheists, homosexuals, adulterers, transgressors) and many of them do not know who is his father.
They contradicted all the commandments of God, enslaved the Africans and took them to their cotton farms to be slaves there: kidnapped them as if they were animals, out of their parents and families; those who cast two hydrogen bombs on civilians, those who eradicated an entire human race: Red Indians.
But only they show kindness to pets .. huh.

Many of your kind has always had slaves... then and now.

It was still the first man-made object to reach the surface of Mars.

The mission was a failure. Crashing something isn't successful.

Apart from becoming the third country, after the USSR and USA, to have a satellite in space; the only country other than Murca and USSR to put a rover on Mars; being, at one stage, the leading country in rocket developments outside of the USA and USSR (Blue Streak etc) etc etc etc.

India leads you in the space race.

Son, I got bad news for you. Nobody truly knows who his father is.

I am a Red Indian, so I guess we ain't all eradicated.

But only they show kindness to pets .. huh.
On the upside, they don't strap on bomb belts and murder dozens of their own people. It's the pious followers of Allah that do that.

So you're a bigot.

Like ISIS and the House of Saud?

those who cast two hydrogen bombs on civilians,

That's what they got when they woke a sleeping giant.

those who eradicated an entire human race: Red Indians.

Some are right here on this forum.

I doubt their culture would survive if your culture was thrust upon them.

But only they show kindness to pets .. huh.

huh?
