HEY TRUMP AND CRUZ STAFF:
We all know some of you lurk here.
One of the reasons the Challenger went down was related to use of politically correct “green” materials. Don’t trust me. Research it. Then use that knowledge to expose the literally deadly consequences of such policies. Relate that to what is currently going on with our military.
And also one of you get elected then crush those type of policies so fewer die on the altar of the “green” movement.
Didn’t help it was freezing and the o-rings couldn’t take cold.
And a teacher was on board and it was a media frenzy after delays and they succumbed to that circus. Safety wasn’t first.
Many bad decisions.

Don’t need to. I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of the foam on the external tank that led to the loss of Columbia. I also think that’s been debunked.
The bottom line is the Shuttle was a bad design from a safety standpoint.
Same issue with the foam on the external tank and foam loss issues. An exemption was in place for years for the method for spraying the foam but eventually eco regs caused a change. I don’t think the foam was as stable after that.
