It's amazing how people are willing to believe the absolute worst of human beings, isn't it?

I see a lot of the best here though. I logged on "mad at the news" this morning.... angry about the hatchet job MSNBC was doing against Americans at NASA that have value to me.

I am so glad I did not only find more of the same here. Some here are jumping in on the hatchet job, but a lot of people are giving NASA the respect and loyalty they deserve from us at this dark hour. And that is heartening.

NASA's abilities are judged on performance. They have just had a failure. If it turns out to be a foam problem, it is then a problem they have known about for years and may in fact have been excerbated by a polically correct decision to use an "environmentally friendly' foam.

Foam has sripped of at least 6 and maybe 8, I can't recall from the paper this morning, previous flights. If this is the problem, it is negligence in my book, but given the BBers propensity to forgive incredible incompetence, I expect the culprits(if there are some) will be promoted.
