Default NASA Astronaut on Columbia Repair (and others)

Remember the question why NASA did not release their results on the
in orbit repair options for Columbia?


Incorrect. The results were released with the CAIB report, both as a
chapter in the main report and as an appendix.

It seems the results were too
unwanted obvious:


Gutierrez is wrong. And it turns out, so were NASA's results from the CAIB
report. The three years of work that have gone into RCC repair capability
since that report have made clear that the in-flight repair options for
Columbia would not have worked.
