abort!

As I said it should never of lifted off to start with. Once it did well some kind of mission to get them back should of been #1 top mission. After they did see there was a problem. Nothing we can't do if we had tried. In America there is nothing we can't do if we had put the effort forth. Instead nothing was done and the mission went on playing with spiders and 7 people died.

OK, so the all-knowing political analyst also dabbles as an aerospace consultant who knows in advance how every space shuttle flight is going to turn out...

Todd, are you sure you didn't get zapped by a Stupid Ray at a young and impressionable age?

I've seen you insisting that the flight should not have taken off from Kennedy to begin with - are you suggesting that the damage to the orbiter occured prior to launch?

If not, then what would you have proposed?

Moreover, if so, what empirical evidence has been presented that supports this allegation (as I've seen nor heard nothing that would indicate that there was knowledge of a problem prior to the flight)?
