You're right, accidents never happen outside of nasa... dumb ass!


Accidents happen, and the potential victims should be adequately
informed of the risks. NASA claimed a risk of disaster to be one in
tenthousand per orbiter. The statistics are more like one in twentyfive
to one in fifty.

Life is full of risk. Life -is- risk. The moral imperative is to be
honest with the persons puting their lives on the line. NASA lied.




Former employee, who got fired? Wife left you? Beaten and neglected as a
child? Bought too much .com stock? Disgruntled postal worker? Neo nazi?
What?.... Tell us?


None of the above. Never worked for NASA. I have not worked for a
gummint contractor since 1968. I got a my fill of that nearly forty
years ago. I am not disgruntled. I am appalled at the dishonesty and the
incompetence. If a private company wants to do that with -its- money,
then fine by me, but -my- pocket it being picked and I object to that.

I have a generic dislike for lying son's of bitches running a scam on
the tax paying public. Do you think it is o.k. to filch money on false
pretenses?
