First "OM"....and then "CT"!

That is asinine and stupid. That would drop boosters on the general
public, since all the silos are in the middle of the US.

after all this time we still lack the ability to get a care package to
a stranded shuttle, in the event of a major but non killer
malfunction.

like a main engine failure that leaves the shuttle stranded unable to
reach ISS or reenter.

nasa has historically ignored malfunctions they didnt bother to plan
for, like my pre coulumbia questions of a shuttle stuck at station,
which I was wrongly assured was impossible.- Hide quoted text -

yes, the lack of redundancy is very, very alarming. and it appears
that NASA management doesn't really care about it, anyway.

If anyone should be apologizing for his behavior, OM, it should be
you.

you will never see that jackbooted nincompoop OM ever apologize for
anything. so why is he so snobby to think that someone "owes" him an
apology?

...Two points:

1) You should also realize that most of us are sick to death of the CT
nutter nonsense, which is why people like me get rather irritated
rather easily when someone makes a claim that sets off the bull****
detectors. Your comments clearly did.

2) On the other hand, had you made it clear at the start that you were
talking "hypothetically", this whole thing could have been avoided.

Did you ever get the artificial right foot to replace the artificial
left one they stuck on your right foot after the amputation?
That was a great photo BTW. Subtle, but I picked up the odd aspect of it
in around five seconds after you sent me looking for it.
I don't know - having two left feet might be a cool thing to take to a
sci-fi convention, particularly if you were dressed as a space
dreadnought fuze changer that used to know "Bill, The Galactic Hero". :-)
What are the lads from "Rome" doing at the moment?

Pat

knowing them, you, and OM, Pat, probably a lot of "Grecian
activities". you sorry faggots.
