Data from Columbia 2/1/03 massacre survived... Sounds like anothergovmint covup to me!

Yeah, people do try to find things that are not really there don't they?
Its often the case with experiments that you do not need complexity. Indeed,
using Dos on a cut down lump of pc hardware gathering data from experiments
is probably far more reliable than most other operating systems.

As for keeping it secret... Pardon, it was know very long time ago that
data recovery was being attempted on a lot of recovered gear. If there is no
rush, then the more data you can get the better.

Have you ever tried to reconstruct a hard drive and read the platters after
such an event? No neither have I and to get anything is quite a triumph I
would say.

as the OS for the space shuttle,

DOS was never the OS for the space shuttle. The space shuttle carried
experiments from many different agencies and some of them used DOS. That
does not mean that DOS was the OS for the space shuttle.

i notice you are an apologizer for IBM AND the federal government AND
the company that
did the 'recovery' of the data.

the only party you left out was the NASA contractor who held the drive
for six months
before turning it over to the 'recoverer of the data'.

would you like to come to their defense too?

how nice!

The OS for the GPC was (and probably is) AFAIK HALS, High Order
Assenbly Language for Shuttle, this is developed by IBM

HAL/S was not the OS, FCOS was the OS (at least for the PASS GPCs).
HAL/S was the language in which most of the flight software was written.
HAL/S was developed by Intermetrics; the PASS flight software was
developed by IBM.

That was entirely you adding 2 + 2 and getting 22, and then acting
like a 9 year old child when you were corrected about it.

As Jorge explained (uselessly to you, it appears), the recovered hard
drive was part of an experiment installed in the Spacehab laboratory
module in the Columbia's cargo bay.

The "OS" of the Space Shuttle is not DOS, it is HAL/S, a type of
Assembly Language. This is well-documented.

OK, took me too long to catch on, triba_la_raza is a loon.

Easy to fix.

On Sun, 18 May 2008 20:50:57 -0500, in a place far, far away, "Jorge
R. Frank" made the phosphor on my monitor glow
in such a way as to indicate that:

That was actually easily inferable from teh screen name.

I mean, "the tribe of the race"? Come on...

One more time, for the comprehension challenged:

The space shuttle carried experiments from many different agencies and
some of them used DOS. That does not mean that DOS was the OS for the
space shuttle.

the article stated that DOS was used stupid.

If it so did, it didn't know what it was talking about. DOS was an
operating system for the first S/360 systems 8-).

People often claim MS DOS was used when what they really mean is the
file system that MS DOS introduced to the PC, i.e., FAT16 or its
successor FAT32. WNT, Linux et al. will all happily read and write such
a file system, with no involvement of whatever DOS.
