He wants to wallow in it some more. 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 |

From Bob Haller:
snip 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. ~ CT |

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 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. |
