What I see is all of them say zip zero nothing. You have added nothing to this thread. Now there was a problem here and someone made the call to gamble the lives of 7 people, who was it? Who made the call? At NASA!
Don Nelson is a hero for trying to save these people.
I have read the entire thread. Unlike some, I wanted information. My opinion of the original topic of this thread was posted for all to see. Did you miss it? Many have posted their opinion of this topic, isn't that what you expect people to do when you post a thread?
The purpose of posting, is, afterall, to give one's opinions or to clarify or add knowledge. I gave an opinion. In case it wasn't clear enough for you....let me restate it:
There is a vast difference between criticism of individual policies, and a concerted effort to find wrong BEFORE the facts are even known. Those who must BASH as a precursor to the gathering and analysis of all significant data, are running their own biased, ignorant agenda.
BTW.....your post to me seemed QUITE nasty. Was that your intention or am I just mis-reading your intent?
