It doesn't say when the letter was written does it?

It doesn't say when this was written but the Point of the letter isn't SAFETY, it is MONEY.

Would like to know who else wrote similar letters and the point of those letters.

Fears of a catastrophic shuttle accident were raised last summer with the White House by a former Nasa engineer who pleaded for a presidential order to halt all further shuttle flights until safety issues had been addressed.

In a letter to the White House, Don Nelson, who served with Nasa for 36 years until he retired in 1999, wrote to President George W. Bush warning that his 'intervention' was necessary to 'prevent another catastrophic space shuttle accident'.

You know your right it just says fears raised last summer not written and its very vague on when a letter was received by the white house

And this guy retired in 1999 how fresh could he be on safety regs if they change daily like news reports say which still puts it back in nasa's lap.
