“At 18,0000 miles per hour, there ain’t much hope for anyone in case of an emergency.......”
that’s what I was thinking as I listened to some spokesman on the news last night. He was talking about all the safety precautions that NASA should or is developing.

At that speed I’m sure it was all over in a matter of seconds, not minutes, and very few of them.............

He was talking about all the safety precautions that NASA should or is developing. From the bit I've read of the report the investigation showed NASA a lot of places where safety could be improved in general, although none of them would have helped in this case.

What happened to Columbia was catastrophic and not survivable and any improvements would have only allowed the astronauts to live for a few more seconds. I am sure what NASA is aiming for is improvements that will give the astronauts that extra margin that may be helpful in surviving non-catastrophic incidents.
I wish the media would report on how the new, eco-friendly insulation may have contributed to the disaster but the media will ignore even a significant, spectacular story if the story does not help leftist politics.
