Re: after the next accident...

Not your call.

My concerns are for the CREW and more impoortandly the familys they may
well leave behind...

Overriding the engineers, with that management hat, got us 7 dead
astronauts and one lost vehicle.

Awhile ago someone posted its not like they are ignoring the engineers
none have quit, and neither have any astronauts.

So engineer stands up for what he believes and is ignored...

Just one question if we are depending on atlantis for a rescue mission
about a month from now, how does atlantis fly with a know waterlogged
tank?

schedule again driving flying, cause of both accidents and 14 dead
crew.

I feel like I am at a accident scenne just before it occurs, can see it
coming but unable to warn anyone......

Dont get me wrong I want a nice safe flight just like you do. But this
clearly isnt worth the risks!

So he's really a modern pop culture "psychic", the kind who get feature spots on
Coast To Coast AM. He should at least be making a living at this, he just needs
to reach an audience that actually wants to hear him. And nothing builds up a
fan base like a sandwich board & cardboard megaphone.

<Haller chicken little nonsense snipped>

Please don't feed Bob. He's killfiled around here for a reason by
nearly everyone. For the last 7+ years this is all he does is whine and
cry about the shuttle. Before Columbia he would whine that each and
every mission was going to be the one to blow up. He's like an insane
man at your local airport screaming at you to not get on a plane
because this'll be the *one* to crash for *sure*! Eventually when the
shuttle is retired, he'll just latch onto CEV or Dreamchaser or
whatever else replaces it. When one of those vehicles suffers a
catastrophic accident, he'll cry about how he was the only one who knew
all along that it was going to happen.

that would make a nice exhibit, but let's hope it doesn't happen right
away.

Manned space will likely be gutted from NASA.

That leaves pads 39 A & B with no futher use.

I think they should be made into nice permanent exhibits.

Return 39B to the appearance of the apollo era, and stack a full model
of a saturn 5 in launch configuration. Build large plexiglass bubble
over entire structure, and do the same for the other pad stacking a
left over tank, solids less ful and enterprise.

both vehicles can be left straing to go somewhere

Open both pads for tours, something thats never been available to the
general public. Turn the VAB into a museum too, and while there at it
build a memorial to Apoolo one at the pad and return the capsule to its
post fire condition and exhibit it in a small proper way.

this would help the local economy thru tourism,.

the government should offere big bucks for other private companies
space operations
