Poppycock.

Wow, losing billions of dollars worth of hardware can be waved away
but having to pay what amounts to small change in comparison as Social
Security for the "surving spouse and children" (and you don't pay
that, anyway) is overwhelming.



often mental
issues for those who remain and employees who screwed up,

More poppycock. *I feel like you should have prefaced this with, "Wake
up and smell some bull****..."

while some dismiss the loss of human life any volunteers to tell this

If they didn't know it was dangerous going in, they're really too
****ing stupid to be astronauts.

Which part of "these are old vehicles and horrifyingly expensive to
operate" do you not understand?



do you know why the CAIB was formed?

Do you understand what it said? *I suggest you go read the complete
report, paying particular attention to Page 209:

"Recertification is a process to ensure flight safety WHEN A
VEHICLE'S ACTUAL UTILIZATION EXCEEDS ITS ORIGINAL DESIGN LIFE;"

Emphasis added in the hopes that you'll actually understand something.

"Finally, recertification is but one aspect of a Service Life
Extension Program that is essential if the Shuttle is to continue
operating for another 10 to 20 years."

and the CAIB would of never existed except for columbias loss. The
mult billion dollar orbiter and according to you some low value human
lives...

So the end date of the program was mandated by the CAIB that would of
never existed if the flight was successful.

thus the colubia loss caused the end of program.............

wonder what your next argument will be?
