Actually, the report is much more sinister than a simple wear and tear issue. The guy in charge of inspecting these parts of the Shuttle makes that clear that this was a huge amount and that the amounts had been increasing. (Since the Freon-less formula had been used.)"freon-less"
Uh, can we back up for a second here? Is this "freon-less" formula what the NASA guy meant by "environment friendly"?
Am I correct in believing that this change in formula was caused by pressure from enviro-whackjobs??
AM I GETTING THE FEELING THAT THE ENVIRO-SCUM MAY HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DISASTER???
That's what I am thinking. Didn't the Clean Air Act of 1995 cause Freon to be gas non grata in America?
