More news on this.
Inspectors were ordered to feel for similar cracks on wing panels of other shuttles.
I think I speak for many Americans when I ask when will this feel-with-your-hand technology trickle down into the civillian world? So many uses spring to mind. This technology would revolutionize masturbation! Uh, for example.
Harold Gehman Jr., a retired Navy admiral heading the investigation, has indicated the board soon will recommend that NASA improve testing to find flaws on older shuttles.
Uh, mister Admiral, sir? How about recommending that NASA put the shuttles in the Smithsonian instead? Or maybe the recommendation should be to put handles on the shuttles and instead of launching them, inter them in the ground with all seven astronauts instead. Just skip the middle part where they explode and die and jump straight to the funeral.
Their conclusion: Discovery would survive and any future damage "would be readily apparent." Discovery safely completed its subsequent flight in August 2001, its last flight before Columbia was destroyed.
Their conclusion: everything will be A-OKAY. NO PROBLEM HERE, FOLKS. Surely if we got lucky once, we'll always be lucky. That's just simple logic. |
