NASA: "possible" we "could" make some "progress" on CAIB recommendations

http://returntoflight.org/assets/pdf...01-28-2005.pdf



"NASA has not interpreted the CAIB recommendations to be a checklist,

but rather has in many cases undertaken activities that far exceeded the
intent of CAIB.

In other instances, technological and other barriers have thus far prevented
the kind of progress

CAIB had hoped for, and NASA has striven for. Taken together, the RTF TG
believes

it is entirely possible NASA will be able to make sufficient progress on the
CAIB recommendations

before their current launch date."

yep, here we go again. NASA's just gambling that the STS manifest will
fly itself out before the next Bad Day is due to arrive.

exactly, flying is more important than mereting the safety rules

End the dangerous wasteful shuttle now before it kills any more astronauts....

So interpret this for me, Jim. Are you giving odds on the May-June launch
window?

No matter how much they spend, each and every single flight is such a
gamble. Spending $MEGABUCKS or $KILOTIME tilts the odds a little, but
doesn't remove the dice roll.

another quote:
"O'Keefe made a point of speaking in short, declarative sentences when
he brought up the issue of NASA's compliance with the CAIB's
recommendations, stating there would "be no discussion" and that all
recommendations would be implemented "to the letter." "

That must have been very difficult for O'Keefe, since O'Keefe speaks in
sentences that are paragraphs long if not a page :-)
