Conspiracy and Prophesy
Did you know that we were part of a "Vast NASA Conspiracy To Kill Mir & Promote ISS"?
Darn these govenment coverups......... when will they release the truth about the MIR collision.....
Maybe the Aliens are plague-ridden Cubans intent on hijacking the Shuttle, transferring all the neat hardware to Mir, and crashing it into the Pentagon...
MIR could crash into a populated area, is there any prophecy about that?
If NASA is reading this, the next shuttle to Mir is the last chance for the Mir crew to return home, and defeat Nostradamus' prophecy.


I wonder, I wonder
Do you know where Mir's going to strike?
Will MIR's fiery descent produce a long enough and persistent enough ionized column of air such that something akin to meteor scatter will be possible in the Pacific?
Can I view Mir form NY?


Just So You Know:
Mir is hotter, clammier and darker than usual
I liked the thought of Australians suffering a "Mir Death Experience" better.
Mir is not just another korean mporpg.
So, Mir is evidently quite robust.
It's a laugh a minute with Mir
MIR is quite big


Fandom
I am a great Mir fan
I am a closet Mir fan and have been desperatly looking for Pictures of Mir
I must admit, I am fair bit of a Mir fan . . . I wonder if anyone has made a plastic scale model . . . yet?
Membership in the Mir Fan Club reached 50 only 10 days after its creation.
Does anybody else think that the Mir story would make a great major motion picture? Sort of "Apollo 13" meets "Dark Star" ?
it would seem to me that it is impossible to be pro-space and anti-Mir at the same time


Slander
False rumors abound about Mir
We heard rumors that RSA was having to go to some unusual money lending establishments to keep Mir flying.
Not less alarming were the rumors about 94 kinds of Mir bacteria being pathogenic and able to cause human diseases.
Skylab, Mir, and ISS FUBAR are utterly worthless - nothing of value has ever come from any of them. NOTHING.
I curse the day that I hit the send button and shared the Mir story.
Mir is over, history marches on


Illiteracy
Is somebody hav informations about the Mir crash?

Mir was proudly flying around the Earth and with dignity . . . [she] fell into the Pacific Ocean without hurting anybody.
