How Things Work? You mean the Childrens book series right? THAT's your "definative" source?
Oh I guess the Astronauts were too busy to read that reference text so that they could acquire the knowledge to repair the shuttle. Maybe it should be included in the EP's (Emergency Procedurec Checklist) for the next flight.

No, I don't believe that's the Children's series.
The other reference is by a Dr. Robert G. Melton, Prof. of Aerospace Engineering at PENN STATE UNIVERSITY.
I guess your implication is that PENN STATE UNIVERSITY must have hired an idiot to TEACH the subject of AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING? I don't know the man, but I kind of doubt it. I bet he KNOWS the subject---inside and out. Nice try, though.
