...Shuttles down to their last 'Incident'!

Per Griffin's press conference on Saturday, he said another
major incident and he'll end the program.

Also he said that he's explaining his reasoning for going
ahead with this launch in the hope any logical flaws in
his thinking would be pointed out.

OK, I have one logical difficulty with his decision.

His chief engineer and safety officer gave 'no-go's'.
But Griffin quickly added neither objected to flying.

Huh! No-go = fly?

Maybe it's not logic, but semantics, that's the problem.
I mean we all know how slender and shaded is
the difference between yes and no.


s

it seems like he's setting it up to shut it down.

Or we can still keep going until there are no shuttles left to
fly, or volunteers to fly them, which ever comes first.

And if the stick develops unforseen problems then what? Remember
America had to wait over 10 years between the last Apollo and the
Shuttle, somehow I don't think the American public will be as patient
this time round.

actually, it was less than six years. ASTP (with Apollo hardware) flew in
July 1975, STS-1 was in April 1981.

The overall Apollo program didn't end with the last lunar mission. Skylab
and the hookup with the Sovs took three years.

Ok. But there was still a long wait between the Saturn 1B and the
Shuttle.
