Yes. This issue was surfaced on this forum the day of or the day after the disaster. Yet NONE of the major news media has carried this story. You would think some enterprising editor would be shouting "stop the presses!" to get this story into print. (Oh nevermind they have retired anyone who still remembers when newspapers were printed with "presses".) Anyway, it is not politically correct to point out a direct correlation between trying to be "environmentally friendly" and the cause of the disaster.

The disturbing thing to me is that in this article no one seeks to address the root problem; instead they talk about how they can fix such damage in orbit. Bizarre.
I should have known that info made its way onto FR, but I wasn't active here back then.

It did not take Freepers long to link the space shuttle disaster to the use of environmentally friendly foam.

The radical environmentalist movement is really just a front for socialism.
