the letter, according to the story, was sent last summer. and while one can scarcely fault the president on this, one can very easiy fault the nasa brass during the entire shuttle era. i've been hearing this kind of thing from shuttle engineers, former shuttle engineers, and even astronauts for 15 years now. there are some seriously faulty systems on the shuttle, and the number of times we almost lost a flight is about five times the number we did lose, solely by the grace of god. so while the story itself is typically flaky, there are very serious and very real things underlying it. indeed, a very good friend and former nasa safety officer killed himself when he could get no one to listen. others at nasa have done the same thing. it's no small issue.

Your right it was last summer i apologize for my anger [sometimes im blinded by it] but i cant help it the president is doing everything for this country and this kind of finger pointing dribble infuriates me to no end i certainly would be the first to catch him on something that i didnt think was right but in this case i dont think hes at fault the nasa brass holds the gold ring on this one!
