NASA Plans for the Unthinkable
For Nasa Unthinkable Would be 'Competence.'
Yes, it's pick on NASA Tuesday. I saw this article and kind of laughed, which is sad. NASA preps for the unthinkable..basically, how NASA will have to have a spare shuttle on standby to rescue astronaughts if their launch vehicle is damaged. Hmm...here's an agency that's lost two shuttles (And 14 lives) for basically the same reasons, so another accident doesn't really seem unthinkable. Either way we have a $50 Billion plus space station of questionable use that we can't get to.
