Like a high-ranking FBI official subjected to questioning and confronted with evidence of their own treason ... it just cracked.

A potentially very expensive flaw, but it’s much better that we find this out now, not when someone is in Outer Space.

Cracks under pressure. So it was the Hillary Clinton model?

First the Universe is cracking and now Nasa’s heat shield.

Where will the cracking end?

If NASA would only do more muslm outreach, things like this would never happen.

I haven’t paid much attention to NASA since the beginning of its political correctness missions with the luxury Shuttle torches. The private sector has proven to be more capable with its endeavor to send the political class on its last vacation to Mars (see vacations to Venus, Cyril Kornbluth, “The Marching Morons”).

A critical part of NASA’s next $2 billion rover mission to Mars broke during testing earlier this month.

That’s a lot of money to repeat something that’s already been done.

Instead of using ablative material, why can’t they make it out of shuttle tile materials?

Wonder if it was due to “extreme” engineering where they do everything they can to conserve weight and end up “missing it by that much”....
