Apparently NASA is extending the mission to repair more takeoff debris-impact damage.
Haven't we had enough incinerated astronauts already? Isn't it time to consign this thing to the scrap heap?
NASA is a government program that other federal programs aspire to be - a truly circular mission. Each flight creates its own need. And another spectacular failure would only make it better. Chief engineer, Chris Scolese, would become an instant celebrity and get promoted much as Mike Brown did after FEMA's failure during Katrina.
So are you saying that we should abandon space exploration? My politics forums
Ike, what we are saying is that "we" (i.e., the US government) has NO BUSINESS exploring space, not just because it is wasteful and evil for a government to force everyone to pay for it, but also because NASA is completely incompetent.
