Wake up America

You are grounding the shuttle for what may be forever.

Now lets get this straight, you have a vehicle called a Shuttle that has a
big external tank, are you all still there and listening.

The big external tank is covered by a foam, when the shuttle with the big
orange tank takes of bits of foam from the big orange tank breaks away and
causes damage to the Shuttle.

Now America you are going to ground then scrap the whole space programme
because the great nation of America is not able to fix foam falling from the
big orange tank.

God help America.

Get the Chinese's involved they will have a fix for it in a few hours.

The basic design architecture is quite suspect. Only the shuttle has
ever been built with the load on the side of the rocket motors.
Everything else puts the load in front of the motors. Maybe after all
these years, billions of dollars and multiple lives lost it just might
be dawning on some people that the basic design architecture has
fundamental flaws.

LOL, I doubt it. One thing the Chinese have demonstrated is a great
disregard for individual human lives. If dozens, hundreds, thousands or
even millions are sacrificed for the Good Of China well then so it must
be in there way of doing things. Chinese industry is hardly the
paragon of quality and reliability.

Yes, I do see your point, read my comments below. its almost always the
simple stuff that you think you understand that comes back and bites you.

What about a spray on layer of lacquer?

I think the Chinese should concentrate on giving their people basic
human rights and freedoms rather than monkey around in space.

Everything in America is made in China, Wal-Mart buys 10% of all Chinese
production

Not quite, Energia had a similar design.

Whether the design is suspect is irrelevant - it's been known to have
been a compromise since Day 1 for anyone who paid attention to the
design and development process.

Be that as it may, the Soviets copied for the Energia/Buran, so it's
not the only side-load launcher ever built.
