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.
“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.”
NASA decided to comply with new EPA regulations.
I heard that Hilary Clinton lobbied for the banning of the stronger proven spray on insulation to something more “green” and the new insulation was not much better than the stuff you buy at hardware stores, pieces of it came off at high speeds and punctured the fuselage of the shuttle.
Actually it was much more than a rumor it was proven to be the case and I think I actually made this identical comment about Hillary on a thread just after the Columbia accident.
