It is *easy* to augment the design of this pressure vessel so that it

limits of this module so that after orbiter breakup it has a stable
flight. An escape module design that would have permitted safe escape
for both -51L and -107 crews need not have had excessive weight.

You're handwaving away some serious considerations. Do you have any
engineering studies substantiating this opinion? Or are you, like so
many other usenet-armchair-rocket-geniuses, just talking off the top of
your head with no real basis?
