First off the tax and spend folks, protecting their sacred cow, NASA, resort to name calling in referring to their opponents as Luddites.
No one opposing this scheme is "heaping scorn on invention" , that is quite silly. I think NASA deserves scorn more than it deserves another dip in the public trough.
The latest crash of the shuttle proves they are not interested in getting the job done. They failed to use the best insulating material to insulate some tanks, so the material fell on the wing breaking it. They choose to use sub-par materials inorder to be politically correct.
Get it? They choose political correctness over getting the job done, because they really don't care about getting the job done.
Try again. NASA was forced to change by the Clinton administration at Algore's direct insistance that they change to the enviro-safe foam.
Get your fact right's when you heap scorn and refrain from degrading people who suffered in that tragedy. NASA works astonishingly hard to maintain safety in the face of budget cuts from narrow minded opinions who don't see the value in the future.
To accuse those men and women of allowing that accident to occur because they didn't want to get the job done is OBSCENE
You are disgusting. Shame on you.
You are disgusting. Shame on you.
Call me names all you want, I hope it makes you feel better.
Now answer weather this is a true or false statement:
They failed to use the best insulating material to insulate some tanks.
Being the disgusting one as you put it I would venture to say the statement is true.
Why, because the best material does not fall off and crack the shuttle.
Who installed the sub-par material?
Being the disgusting one as you put it I would venture to say the men and women of NASA did.
Why, because they were in charge.
Why did the people in charge, continue to use a material that breaks off and falls on the shuttle?
Because they did not want to make Al Gore unhappy according to Ophiucus.
It really is not a stretch to say that the men and women of NASA were more interested in keeping Al Gore happy than using the best material available to get the job done.
Why, because this is exactly what they did.
And you call me disgusting! That's ok, because I know that people resort to insults when logic fails.
Have a nice day!
