Sounds funny but a very good friend of mines daughter did copy her butt,
damaged the machine and some six months later her Mom found the copy dropped
behind a table when doing some spring cleaning.

That was many years ago. Becky was reminded of it at her graduation party from
college this spring. Her friends found it hilarious.

Yes, but Bobbie would feel much better had the shuttle team wasted time. Of
course, who knows what else might have happened down the road had the people
Bobbie wanted to attend the meeting stopped doing what they were doing? How
many other deaths would result to comfort Bobbie? Don't you think pointless
deaths and wasted money is worth it if you can adhere blindly to the rules
and make Bobbie feel better?

I'm still waiting for him to answer my question: What *would* have changed
(as opposed to *might* have changed) had the people involved attended the
meetings he's upset they didn't attend, and what is his verifiable data to
support his claim?

Especially since NASA's public image is much more important than the
actual work they do or oversee contractors doing. <Andre Agassi> "Image
is *everything*"

They would have CTAs for better image. Oh, the shuttle would "of"
been gone as well as the crew. But their public reputation would "of"
been better than it is now.
