“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.
Exactly. Socialism demands that the activities are process orientated instead of results orientated. Process says to use bad glue, results says 7 people dead.
EPA law says that glue used for foam insulation on ductwork in a building can’t exceed certain concentration and this law must be applied to foam on a freakin space ship carrying 7 people at 18,000 mph.
Let’s not use what is best but let’s keep a couple of molecules from entering the atmosphere from the bad glue.
“Oh crap instead of a couple of lbs of glue in the atmosphere we have easily 7 dead people and thousands of lbs of toxic waste in the atmosphere.”
How is that Protecting the Environment. (EPA right).
EPA killed 7 people. NASA knew the glue was as effective. To protect the environment (HA) they killed 7 people.
