Gases Breached Wing of Shuttle Atlantis in 2000

Interesting though, that the size of the hole is known and thus some real
data can be gleaned from it.

Sad isnt it? Its similiar to the O rings.

Where previous flights had troubles.

So palmdale didnt do its job well? Didnt install parts properly?

I wonder if that contribuited to Columbia?

You're asking the questions, do you have any facts to back up these
veiled accusations?

I wonder if that contribuited to Columbia?

More Chicken Little scratchings and calls for executions.

Theres a article that one previous flight had a burn thru caused by palmdale
not reinstalling a seal properly. After that procedures were changed.

I wonder if since Columbia had just been back from palmdale if any mistakes
were made. I guess theres no way to know.

Wasn't 107 Columbia's *second* flight after the retrofit?

Yeah, it flew a Hubble mission.

So it looks like Palmdale got the pieces right as Columbia would
have fallen from a much higher altitude and endured much more heating.
Or is the double Spacelab's mass enough to make the heating equivalent?
