...and that's exactly what the engineers said when they first looked at the Apollo 13 problem.

Thee Engineers thought you were totally illiterate, too??? Amazing.

OReilly, the Apollo 13 disaster and STS-107 are NOT THE SAME... and all of your wishing will not make it so.

You still have not answered any of the questions I have asked you. Who were they going to rendezvous with in space? How were they going to "lighten" the shuttle?

Your sole talent seems to be the ability to throw rotten tomatoes at people who know the facts when you don't.

For all their and your talk of Family... NASA has no credibility with the public. They did and have recently taken unnecessary chances with our Astronauts' lives, for political and fiscal reasons.
