I don't see this as old news at all. Gehman may have provided a
factual report on STS-27, but they fell way short in communicating the
severe emotion that was coupled with the damage. I'd say the obvious
conclusion is that NASA had no excuse for not having a rescue or
repair plan for STS-107. And all flights between 1988-2003.

Here's an online version for anyone who hasn't seen it:http://www.spaceflightnow.com/shuttl...9/090327sts27/

yeah my shuttle stuck at station was clearly possible since this
flight.

why did nasa basically ignore it?

fear it wasnt fixable and would end the shuttle program permanetely?
clearly so soon after challenger shuttle would of been grounded
permanetely......

I was thinking the same thing. It's ironic to see that the secrecy
behind STS-27 being a classified military mission put this critical
part of shuttle program safety set to 'ignore'.
