Noted that again you desire the appearance of safety, not actual
safety.

Ahh the problem is that this mirrorsclosely the dont bother taking
pictures of columbia on its final mission.

Kinda a dont look policy.

No, it's a "concentrate your troubleshooting on where the evidence suggests
the problem actually is, rather than perform a risky EVA to find out where
it probably isn't."

I HOPE AND PRAY nothing bad happens! But imagine nasa tryng to explain
a day from now a dead crew and out of control station with no
possiblity of repair, and patrts going to be deorbiting randomly
across the globe....

I'm having a lot more fun imagining you as an ISS flight director sending
the crew out on EVA, getting them killed as a result, and getting your ass
hauled before an investigation board.

Adm. Gehman: So, Mr. Haller, I understand it was your decision to send
Fincke and Padalka on this EVA to inspect the upper hull of Zvezda - is
that correct?

Mr. Haller: yes it WAS! it would of looked careless if we d9in'ty go take a
looksee outside. imagine the pr...

Gen. Hess: What did your Russian counterpart think of your decision?

Mr. Haller: he dint think it was necesery the noise was some vent fans or
somthin or other. but what igf he was WRONG? imagine trying to explain a
dead crew and outotcontrol station deorbiting randomly oh look ther goes
new york...

Dr. Hallock: Isn't that what we're trying to get you to explain anyway?

Mr. Haller: well ok i guess thers no good way to die but HEY! it wasnt my
fault i wasnt going to fall for that dont look policy nosirree bob

Dr. Osheroff: What did your flight control team recommend? What about the
MER?

Mr. Haller: they agred with the russians it could of ben the fan but i kept
saying WHAT ABOUT THE SKIN and maybe a piece of debree hit it twice or
somethin and made it rattle like that you know it could depressurize and
that woul be the last we har from the crew

Mr. Hubbard: What did your EVA planners recommend? The crew?

Mr. Haller: the eva guys said go. theyre always hapy to go outside. same
with the crew. what could go wrong? hey we've done lots of EVAs never lost
anybody before so whats the harm in taking a look

Dr. Ride: I think I'm hearing an echo here...

Mr. Haller: wets pants i want my mommy
