Amnesia

NASA has decided against repairing the space shuttle for it’s return to earth. What I find the most interesting bit of information in the entire article is that they aren’t even worried that gases will find their way into the crack and breach the ship, causing the same horrific explosion seen with Columbia.

I don’t understand why they aren’t even concerned! The article mentions that the lack of fixing the ship with a space walk will open NASA up to longer repairs once the shuttle hits dirt (in a million pieces?).

Looking at this logically, they had no idea the size of the hole or the location on the failed Columbia landing. They concluded the cause after picking up small pieces of the shuttle in Texan’s backyards. It was the only scientific explanation at the time.

Trying desperately not to go into conspiracy theory here, but was NASA lying to us just to appease the conscience of the American public? If they weren’t, wouldn’t you be sending those astronauts out there, risking further damage to the ship if you’re going to have to repair it when it lands anyway?

Do they want the shuttle to explode? Will it give them enough clout to clean house and beg the government for the funding for a better and more reliable ship?

I do believe if this is the case, the mob will have lost all interest in the United States Space Program.

Whatever the cause, I do hope God watches these men and women as they descend through the atmosphere. I for one will be waiting with baited breath to see they land in one piece.
