Why do we care about the crossing?
I have been following the threads about the SRB's and I can't seem to find
the answer to this question...Why do we care? What does it matter if they crossed or did not cross after loss of the vehicle? -- BenignVanilla Pond Site: www.darofamily.com/jeff/links/mypond |

What does it matter if they crossed or did not cross after loss of the vehicle? Well, if I understood correctly, the theory is, that if they crossed, then the evidence about the O-ring failure must have been compromised. Those that believe in the crossing also seem to believe that the O-ring failure wasn't the primary cause of the accident, and in also that the accident wasn't in fact an accident. In reality it was a conspiracy by the Reagan administration to destroy a shuttle, so as to increase funding for the Star Wars program. At least that is what I understood from the argument. Personally, I'd file that theory in the same drawer as the theory that the events of 2001 09 11 were deliberate acts of the Bush administration in order to create a police state. Nick |

Apparently you don't, but that is mainly an issue to the extent of whether the salvage forces initially proceeded to the proper coordinates for the right booster. Anyone with eyesight can easily see that the boosters did cross after their fireball exit. The real issue is the importance of a crossing *within* the fireball, one which destroyed Challenger *as it happened*. -- John Thomas Maxson, Retired Engineer (Aerospace) Author, The Betrayal of Mission 51-L (www.mission51l.com) |

... pretense for putting NASA under Pentagon control. Whacked,.n'es pas? Minor nit: that should be "n'est ce pas" (for "is it not"). While I do occasionally rant on spelling and grammar I usually don't do it for non-English words. I only post this since I saw a "wa la" yesterday (instead of "voila") and it made me cringe. Carry on, your appraisal of the booster crossing debacle is correct. -- bp Proud Member of the Human O-Ring Society Since 2003 |

At the time they crossed, assuming they did, the disaster had already occurred, right? What do post-disaster flight patterns of the SRB's have to do with anything? I am not being confrontational, I am honestly trying to understand. BV. |

"BenignVanilla I am not being confrontational, I am honestly trying to understand. Here is the real deal. I posted it earlier. Maybe you missed it. By the way, crossing or not crossing does not matter. All the arguments you see here are over nothing. The newsgroup has been co-opted due to mental defect. Then why do you continue to argue? "IIRC the reason that it was supposed to matter was that it would prove that the Left SRB had been exposed to a hydrogen leak and super-chilled as part of a conspiracy on the part of the Reagan Administration to wreck the shuttle as a pretense for putting NASA under Pentagon control. Whacked,.n'es pas?" You're worried, perhaps, that he can't think for himself? Steve |
