It is still early days. Let's let them do their work and find out what happened and not make their tragedy any worse with a lot of monday-morning quarterbacking.

The word is that Dittemore is on his way out. That's what I hear from people at JSC.

I hope that's not true. I don't see what purpose would be served by making Dittemore a sacrificial goat. (Politics can be that cheap, though, and often is.) He has impressed me with his forthrightness and extraordinary professionalism throughout what must be, for him, a devastating trial at a time of great personal grief. My sense is he's a man of character and integrity.

I've been wondering whether there's any possible way this catastophe could have been the result of a cyberattack. About two weeks ago, the Bank of America national ATM network was taken down by a "worm" whose source, quite interestingly, appears to be untraceable. Could this attack have been a "dress rehearsal" in the lead up to "the main event?"

Thoughts, anyone?

Interesting, some people here on FR have been rather emotional and at times rude in his defense.

Do you know if he was on the bubble before the Columbia tragedy?

Yes, I guess he's one of the last stopping places for the proverbial buck.
