Why has NASA provided that the sound quality on Shuttle Communications
channels should be kept about as bad as in the Sixties? When I listen to
talk from the Shuttle on NASA-tv it sounds like I'm in a time warp. WHY
don't they have Skype type quality?

You might ask why the worlds aircraft still use am vhf radios everywhere. I
think its also if it works and is reliable, why bother? I mean, so many of
the emergency services have jumped into new age telecoms and been forced to
use the old as a back up when it falls over!

The aircraft industry for better or worse is (has become over time) very
conservative.

Indeed, they 'jumped'; after analysis it invariably turns out these projects
were very badly managed

And no particular _reason_ to improve it - it works just fine.
