Exclamation NASA...since when do they deal in CHANCE:


Quote:
Shuttle moves toward launch pad after delay
NASA decides crack on fuel tank doesn’t pose serious problem
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The space shuttle Discovery began its slow creep to the launch pad Wednesday after a brief delay caused by the discovery of a crack in the external fuel tank’s foam insulation. NASA later said the crack was no reason for concern.


The flaw was discovered as the spacecraft was being readied for the first shuttle launch since Columbia fell to pieces two years ago — a disaster blamed on a chunk of foam that fell off the tank during liftoff and gashed one of the wings.

NASA spokeswoman Jessica Rye described the flaw as a hairline crack and said that after sending images of it to the tank’s manufacturer in Louisiana, the space agency concluded it did not need to make any repairs.

NASA later said the 1½-inch (4-centimeter) crack was high up on the shuttle, in a spot where ifoam debris would probably not hit the vehicle even if it did fly off.

read full article here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7405804/?GT1=6428

I'm sure they know what they're doing...but come on now! Didn't a similar crack in the fuel tank foam cause Space Shuttle Columbia to wreck?

I know it's a small crack...but this is NASA we're talking about! As anal as they are about every mundane detail...they are saying things like it "probably" won't hit the vehicle and that it doesn't pose a "serious" problem.

What happened to the days when NASA would make sure that it "wouldn't" hit the vehicle and that it "doesn't" pose any problem?

Heck...they didn't even pony up the money to fly the manufactures out to physically inspect the crack. They simply sent images of it to the tank manufacturer!

What the heck is going on with NASA?!

Seriously...a freaking peice of debris from the outer foam insulation on a fuel tank is what brought Columbia down! And they are really going to let this thing launch without repairing a similar problem?!

Yeah, it seems like the higher up the crack is, the better the odds that it would hit any particular part of the shuttle.

If there are ANY controlable odds of it hitting the shuttle...they should repair it.

Re: NASA...since when do they deal in CHANCE:


The problem with NASA is the young people have no vision.

My generation put a man on the moon and brought them home safely. And they did this in nine years starting from scratch.

The present generation can't even get this Shuttle thing to orbit the Earth safely. SHAMEFUL

Re: NASA...since when do they deal in CHANCE:


For the love of Allah, Mr. Magoo. Put a sock in it already.

Do you really think there are a bunch of 30-year olds running NASA? Most of the higher-ups are probably closer to your age than they are mine or my parents.

Nonetheless..."your generation" put a man on the moon? Well "my generation" built two space stations.

Beat that!

Re: NASA...since when do they deal in CHANCE:


I wonder how many space miles have been travelled with the shuttle as compared to the moon missions?

Anyhow, I agree with Veritas, they should repair the crack.

There were only four moon missions. The Shuttle has been here for decades.

Apples and oranges my friend.

Who puts more miles on their car. The person who drove to California and back four times or the person who spent two decades riding around the block?

What was more challenging? Driving to California or riding around the block?
