"health and environmental concerns" strike again.

In recent years, the flaking problem has become more common as NASA. Contractors changed the composition of the spray-on foam and adhesives to comply with health and environmental regulations, said Alfred F. Daech, a former consultant with Martin Marietta, now part of Lockheed Martin. Chromium and freon were removed.

Why do you worry about environmental aspects on a container of very non-environmental caustic liquid?

Stupidity in regulations!

I'm getting tired of the media's attempts to spin NASA as a group of incompetent boobs sitting around wasting money. Not that NASA is perfect by any stretch of the imagination, it's honestly getting rediculous.

I have a statistic for them. Per mile, the American space program has the greatest safety record of any mode of transportation in history. :)
