NASCAR engineers never would have allowed Space Shuttles Challenger and Columbia to launch. "If that bird ain't safe, we are going to blackflag it until it is!"

The problems on Challenger and Columbia were well known before they
were sent up on their ill-fated missions. But NASA (and some have
suggested the government knew as well) that those problems existed but
still allowed the flights to go on.

As a result, 7 astronauts were sacrificed to the Gods.

NASA engineers never would have let those birds fly, given their
problems. Whenever there is a car with apparent safety issues, those
in charge of NASCAR will not allow that car to participate.

NASA would do well to take the same tack when it comes to Space Shuttle
launchings!

Not this discussion again...

Please read a few months back, and you'll find the same story, with the
same conclusion:
NASCAR engineers cannot work for NASA, and NASA engineers cannot work
for NASCAR (period).

Note the crossposted newsgroups, stop feeding the troll, set killfiles on
"incinerate", and back slowly away.

Yeah, but also if NASCAR was in charge of the shuttle, it would only be
allowed to turn left and the engines would have restrictor plates...

14 astronauts.

Boy, you sure speak some powerful stuff there, Cletus. Don't know if the
American public is ready for this much truth. Maybe we all need as much beer as
you've probably had today. Now, go back to your race.

These are the same guys that, until their big money guy (DE) got killed at
under 200mph, surrounded their tracks with solid concrete walls. Then, if
their vehicles get a little banged up, they cut off anything loose, duct
tape the rest and send it back out. Boy, think of how much NASA could save
with that kind of engineering and maintenance! Whooo dogeeee!!
