Why are you pulling this up now? It's old, very old, news.

no its about the article and besides has nasa EVER previously publically
admitted that? beyond which the article talks of more flexible flights suits
for easier bail out and more durable ones with beacons fotr better
survivability and easier recovery

Thanks for posting that article, Bob. I got a lot out of it.

I would like to see a diligent investigative reporter get the story of
how the shuttle got designed and built *without* a way out for the
whole crew. NASA is brutally aware that this would have been very
easy to do back in the 70s.

By "get the story", I mean finding the people who were responsible for
making this tragic design decision and holding them accountable.

It was pure cost cutting at its worst. the reason the crew compartment survived
the initial destruction n both cases was it did what it was designed to.

initial specs called for the crew compartment to be a crew escape pod. It was
cut dfor budget and weight reasons.

If they hadnt been so cheap those 2 crews would of probably been alive today.

I think the move to solid boosters was the root of much of this. Liquids may
have been able to increase the payload capacity so the added crew comparment
weight wouldnt of been a issue.

Who is "they"?

No, wait, you still haven't been able to answer a simple yes/no question
about whether or not you did any research on shuttle failure modes.
