can we give up on NASA yet?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070811/.../space_shuttle

What is the deal, a process done since 1970 and they can get a launch that doesn't have a problem

And why is it that they never seem to change anything, its always the same entry/exit issue.

"If the gouge is deemed serious and cannot be fixed, the shuttle astronauts would have to remain at the space station. They have more than two months of supplies with them, and a rescue shuttle could be launched by early October, Shannon said."

Used car quality in an unforgiving environment.

Maybe it's because the Romulans haven't provided any additional training procedures.

I think NASA should do everything in their power to continue, indefinately, to send astronauts into space. Although I believe there is a hint of sarcasm in your post Wagner, I truly believe one of the worst things that could ever happen to humanity is the loss of support to NASA and the space program.

I think we should all support the orginization, I am sure, they try to do everything in their power to run the best program they can. It's not exactly a plane ride to get in and out of the atmosphere.

I say, GO NASA... I think it's one of the best and most important government orginizations and I also think it deserves our unwavering support.

B-Line, my point is, if we aren't going to do it right...don't do it at all. NASA spends billions of dollars and has the same day to day problems they've always had. This either needs to be resolved, or stopped.

While I see benefit to the continuation of the Science, I don't see benefit to repeating the same processes over and over.

We would do more if we didn't require the shuttle.
