And actually NO.
No one was talking about the ‘Flyback Booster’ concept.
Otherwise we could talk about the design change that led to the tiles. Or we could talk about the ET insulation change that brought Columbia down.

LOL. Sure they were. I lived through that period and was as big a space buff as ever lived. I know what the original design was intended to be.
"But we’re talking about accident as it happened."
No, we're talking about the ultimate cause of the accident.
"And that was Sheer Bad Luck."
No, it was politics.
"And I was there."
And so was I.
