It's been around 20 years since that teacher got killed in one of your rockets...
the cause... 'fuel lines' problems.
I get it, it's not the scientist fault, ...it's the engineers.
When something goes wrong, it's the engineers fault. When things go right...it's the scientist fault.
Same old story isn't it?
So why is it after 20 years 'You're' still having "fuel lines" problems?
Have you considere finding somebody else to build it? Or is there too much money under the table
for that to happen? Everybody got their suitcase of money, so you continue to have "fuel lines" problems.

No. The problem with Challenger was in the solid fuel boosters.
Solid fuel rockets don't HAVE fuel lines.

The Shuttle design is still the best at scattering body parts over huge
areas of East Texas.
>fuel schfuelm, it's all the same thing...
Consider that upon launch, the shuttles are almost entirely fuel/oxidizer
(and containers to hold them) by weight. It's the biggest thing to go
wrong.
The Challenger problem and the current problem are completely different.

What's a "fuel booster"?
'fuel problems' 'fuel related problems'...causes delay and explosions and death.
Why don't You ('the scientific community') tell 'the teachers' the *Truth*? That this..this.. 'fuel THING' is

It takes a LOT of energy to get the adequate orbital speed to stay up
once you get the height. Any way you supply that much energy has
risks. The schoolteacher knew the risks and took them.

So who is telling you that they told the teacher it was safe?
The official risk factor of the shuttle blowing up or
crashing is 1 in 100 for each flight. Due to the
enormous potential energy in the fuel or the enormous
speed upon re-entering the atmosphere, the likelihood
of surviving this unplanned event is nil.
Lynn
That means 1 lost per 100 flights, 2 shuttles have been lost,
there have been 133 flights.
The ACTUAL risk is 1 in 67 no matter what the "official" figure.
The risk of a WWII bomber being lost over Germany was 1 in 28
and that was being deliberately shot at from the ground and other
aircraft. The risk is unacceptable for a civilian flight, the design was
inadequate.

That is inaccurate. Up until Challenger, no shuttles had crashed. That
didn't mean that the "actual risk" for a shuttle mission was 0. Which should
be obvious, as subsequent shuttles did crash.

You are confusing calculated risk and actual risk. The
calculated risk factor is 1 in 100. I submit that 2 failures
out of 133 flights is not enough of a sample to calculate the
actual risk. The flights will be ceasing at 135 so the sample
will not grow much larger.
For as complicated a vehicle as the space shuttle is, 1 in
100 is not bad. In fact, I believe it to be quite good
especially when compared to staged rockets which have a much
higher failure rate. Of course, those rarely have human
beings sitting on them.
BTW, I would not call the space shuttle a civilian flight
as most of the crew are military officers and the dimensions
of the shuttle were specified by the military.

It almost exactly equal to that of staged rockets. Anything better
than 98% is considered acceptable for manned spaceflight.
Hell, when you consider the number of accidents and extremely closes
calls Soyuz has historically had... the Shuttle doesn't seem quite so
bad at all.

You really have no clue how probability works due you? (Hint: The
Columbia could have blown up on it's first flight and the odds would
*still* be 1-in-100.)

went back to the number sequence and the next flight was STS-26 (which

They are hoping that the market will step up. There are high hopes
for the Falcon. If the Falcon fails, then it's not government capital
wasted.
The debt has been a crisis for fifteen years. If the government is

cut until the economy is back on track, and space isn't the last that

In the past, the only thing that has helped the debt problem has been
prosperity. The argument then should be whose plans for prosperity
is most likely to be achieved, with the least risk of failure.

you forgot 'steal a car'..doesn't require money.
Ask any scientist, there is nothing good or bad about stealing a car..to them
it's a question...."Should I steal this car or not?" "Will it get me to where I want

mathematical odds of the cops catching me?" "Let me see, the population of Los Angeles

Lots of scientists will disagree with you. I suppose they have
psychopaths, as does the general population. Certainly we don't see
a larger percentage of scientists with psychopathic behavior than we
see other subsets of our population.
I looked up the definition and it sounds to me it's defining 'scientist'
psychopath (plural psychopaths)
A person with a personality disorder indicated by a pattern of
lying, cunning, manipulating, glibness, exploiting, heedlessness,
arrogance, delusions of grandeur, sexual promiscuity, low self-control,
disregard for morality, lack of acceptance of responsibility,
callousness, and lack of empathy and remorse. Such an individual may be
especially prone to violent and criminal offenses.

Morals are observable. Science is about observations. What can be
observed and measured is science - including behavioral science.
You can observe someone having an abortion..
Is having an abortion right or wrong?
No wisdom in NASA Mafia GOP thinking. Shuttles built not to get back
to the moon,but on to put 2 billion each year into GOPers deep
pockets. 43 years of going round and round 200 miles up is a joke.
Spending $25,000,000 for each of the shuttles toilets is tell ing you
GOPers are shitting all over "WE the PEOPLE." Nixon And Annenberg had
a good laugh on us tax payers. Nixon and Kissenger made sure USA would
have a "Great Reccession" Vote GOPers in 2012,and then the poor can
