If a future shuttle has a serious problem, it makes a low orbit but is

Sadly it will also be a hazard to whoever is in its reentry footprint of
debris. Fear of this causes chaos with people trying to flee the area.
Lives are lost.General panic disrupts lives and the economy too

After the clean up it becomes clear this loss was also preventable if
they could of gotten some spare parts to the stranded shuttle in time.

This was looked at for Columbia but not acted on.

How will you nasa explain this oversite?

Lets remember IF we had known Columbia had a problem and had a emergency
fast launch capability a power pod would of been sent up for electricity,
and other essentials. This would of been followed by atlantis to return
the crew and very possibly a emergency repair kit we may have saved the
orbiter too.

Granted we had neither, but we are now clearly aware such a situation can
occur.

Call me names, knock my grammar and spelling, say plonk, whatever it does
NOT atter what you post here.

But how will NASA explain such a thing?
