Does anyone know why NASA changed the ET foam to the current formula? I read somewhere that it was changed for environmental reasons. The foam was changed for environmental reasons, but the foam that flew on Columbia's ET was the old stuff. [...] Just imagine: if the foam was changed due to environmental concerns, the blame may ultimately rest on Greenpeace! ;-) Just imagine: if the foam had been changed earlier, it may not have shed and Columbia could have landed safely. If only NASA had listened to Greenpeace earlier! (My conclusion is as logical as yours, i.e. not very, but it has the benefit of being based on a fact rather than a false rumor.) |
