As well as Homer hits the problem square on the head, he wildly misses on identifying the right solution. He is still a captive of the NASA cult of government "right stuff" mentality. Time to break the the trance equating space development with NASA that threatens to doom us to repeating falure over and over again.

he's right, it was not the design of choice, and is full of flaws. It was designed to be 'cheap', and put off 'construction' costs into 'operations' costs, and to re-use the existing Apollo ground installation/equipment.
However, that being said, poor design was not the cause of the Colombia murders. It was a deliberate management failure to do it's job and fix obvious problems, the same reason for the loss of the Challenger.
You don't repeatedly ignore the 'check engine oil' light, then be surprised when the engine blows up.
