First, it isn't Dora, it's 'Go Diego Go!'. Be sure you(you doesn't refer to an individual) get that straight or else you'll just confuse people. Nickelodeon keeps their email addresses pretty secure. The only way you could email them is to 'email' Nick Online, (nick.com has a Contact link at the bottom of the page) but that's not really contacting Nickelodeon (you should contact Nickelodeon Studios) and you probably won't get a reply. Your best options are to write by mail or call by phone. Only actually calling them will ensure a response.

What exactly was portrayed? Do they actually show the Columbia explosion, or just footage of ground control during the event?


I can imagine a suited up cartoon character ready for a ride or talking to ground control about how awesome space is. (I think that's a rather benign use)

The other idea would be that they show some accident (not necessarily the actual explosion) and the cartoons say 'OOPS!' and laugh. (would qualify as offensive)

Please enlighten me.

1: It's Columbia, with a U, not an O.
2: She didn't explode and neither did Challenger. Both broke up due to excessive aerodynamic stresses on the airframe.

It was a commercial and just showed mission control. The large screens didn't show what really was there, but clips from the cartoon episode that was being advertised. (clips were editted in to look like they were on the mission control screen)

Oops. I guess that's a signal to call it a night. I've been reading Columbia and thinking Challenger the whole time too. I think I have some idea what may be going on... now I'm thinking of the right incident...

They showed the NASA TV video of Columbia's disaster, with Animation all over the screens instead of Columbia's track. I found it offensive, it was when Charley was calling UHF comm Check, and when they said Flight Controllers declare a contingency.
