[KantianBurke]

I've read three different versions on FR threads as to what went on during the press conference. Not doubting YOU but I'm a bit skeptical as to what was said / interpreted as I was at work and didn't see for myself. Also once again I'm not a rocket scientist nor do I play one on TV so I'm making educated guesses. Still its hard to beleive that something logical and rational could not have been put in place for the Columbia 7.

Well....if it helps....the rocket scientists WERE on TV today.....and they are doing everything possible to investigate, gather data and analyze that data. To second guess that investigation, and make uninformed charges of NASA being complict in the deaths of 7 astronauts is ludicrous. No, it is worse....it exposes the emotionalism of some who WANT to pin a failure on SOMEONE, so they engage in a witch hunt without adequate data to support their claims.

Gather data, investigate, analyze....and THEN let's see where we are. Take the emotionalism out of this...and approach this logically. That is my hope.
