And exactly how do you investigate something when you have no leads,
no evidence, no indications?

Well first a directy visual inspection is in order. When something unexplained
occurs do you??

A wait for a disaster or

B investigate all likely possibilties?

Looks like management is waiting for whatever to crap out completely. thats
fine if its a ventilation fan with a loose retainer screw.

but what if this noise is a symptom of a kliller issue?

Ahh DONT answer now!

But be aware if something really bad occurs it will appear careless, just like
the foam shedding.

We really dont understand and know exactly why the foam is shedding but its no
biggie

We really didnt know what caused the noise but felt it wasnt a biggie.

The post mrtem of another disaster with the possiblity of a out of contol ISS
deorbit isnt good PR.

If the area in question was worth the time and trouble of a look see on the
time shortened spacewalk its worth going back out soon to complete that walk
and other unfinished spacewalk activities.



Why go take a look at all? There is no evidence, no symptoms, no
leads, no indications, no nothing.

EXCUSE ME theres that unknown noise! That audio evidence of SOMETHING not
right.


How hard is this to understand?

D.

OBVIOUSLY VERY HARD FOR YOU!
