RTF briefing observation

Long time no write. Anyway I was watching the RTF briefing this
afternoon. Interesting that in order to project an upbeat and positive
image they've invented a new catchphrase: "conditionally closed". This
is applied to 5 of the 15 critical CAIB RTF recommendations to indicate
that they're not closed yet, but will be "real soon now".

In fact, none of the 15 CAIB critical RTF items have actually been
closed. Interesting.

I want to see shuttles launching again in the worst way. I hope they
pull it off.
