Where do you get this? Which part of the foam do they *know* that about?

Yea, they are playing the odds, but it's not like the brakes in your
car being bad and driving anyways, it's more like knowing your
windshield will not survive a bird flying into it ( and therefore
killing you ) but you drive the car anyways, but the chances of a bird
flying into your windshield are very small, but still there.

yeah with this quote from Griffin...

You're not gonna like this, and I'm sure I'm not going to like how it

Administrator Mike Griffin said.

Of course they are. They do that every flight.

You do that every morning when you get out of bed, or get in your car.

yeah BUT they KNOW the foam isnt right and the supposed rescue shuttles
tank has water running out of it.

You dont fly when you KNOW something isnt right!

Of course the Columbiaand challenger managers put on that management
hat and played the odds and lost 14 dead and 2 orbiters converted intyo
useless junk

just now the head of the agency decided to wear that hat, wether or not
this flight is successful the program will have another accident with
management like this

This is like going out in your car when you KNOW the brakes are bad...
play the odds they will stop ok

Not to defend Bob, but...

The Ice/Frost Ramps, which they say they'll change in time for
STS-117.

That's OK, I'm not sure that defends Bob anyway.
