Default Re: shuttle probs....

It just amazes me that we can spend over $1 BILLION on trying to prevent such a simple problem, yet it seems as if they completely overlooked it. NASA engineering at its finest, I guess. Still, I'm sure they're just as embarassed about it as I am dumbfounded as to why this is happening.

I wasn't there to witness it, but were things like this common in the days of the Apollo program, i.e. massive R&D expense with little to no payoff?

Sickening also when you consider most NASA engineers are making $100k or more a year...or maybe I'm just jealous! Looking at NASA's website, it appears you only need a BSE for employment. Now I'm wondering if that'd be worth getting into; mebbe shake things up and help 'em out!

IMO, it's time to ditch the 70's technology for something cutting-edge and ultra-modern, making it easier to service and cheaper to launch.
