What happened to Columbia was catastrophic and not survivable and any improvements would have only allowed the astronauts to live for a few more seconds. I am sure what NASA is aiming for is improvements that will give the astronauts that extra margin that may be helpful in surviving non-catastrophic incidents.

I wish the media would report on how the new, eco-friendly insulation may have contributed to the disaster but the media will ignore even a significant, spectacular story if the story does not help leftist politics.

Rumor I heard was that NASA changed to more ECO-friendly (less effective) glue to glue insulating foam to the liquid fuel tank, thus foam fell off and caused an ecological disaster of heavy metals, bodies, etc.

As always the solution of liberals is much, much, much worse than the problem.

See tagline.
