Seeing as you only respond with childish insults and flames to a simple and logistically feasible plan,

No, I gave you facts at the beginning and you ridiculed them and, of course, had to insinuate that we're all naieve if we don't agree with you all.

You got the answers you deserved.

Howlin - uh what facts? You mentioned how you "heard" from Bill Nelson and how "its been said on all the press conferences" that they didn't have oxygen for more than 14 days - an ascertion which I easily proved false by listing the Columbia's flight schedule - which totals 17 days. Tell me, what other facts did you present??

Chad - You're probably right in that NASA wouldn't have sent up a second shuttle by too late a date. However their hesitancy or ignorance doomed the Columbia. The public has a right to now which factor was present.
