After reading many of your posts here, you impress me as the kind of
person who would actually be disappointed if your vehicle loss
prediction doesn't happen because you wouldn't be able to say I told you
so.

Sadly I predicted we would lose another orbiter before the columbia
disaster. Based on the number of near disasters leading up to that
flight. True I had no way of knowing what would fail but faiure was
predictable based on previous troubles.

Maybe you did, but you weren't even close to being the first.

google back and you will find my posts which also asked aboiut shuttle
stuck at station. Others laughed at me, some pad rats tried assuring me
I was wrong.things were safe

Safe, is relative, but just like crying in baseball, there *is* no safe in
spaceflight and anybody who thinks otherwise, should maybe think again...
