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.


The only "results" they released was a statement that their tests were
inconclusive. No report what they tested, how they tested neither
the results they got.


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.


What is your source? Was it you who said something the same line over a
year ago claiming some knowledge of NASA tests not yet released? As
we got no source it was dismissed as one of the many Columbia Usenet myths.
But maybe there is a report out now. I`m not the only one eager to read it!
