So the cameras on the ET are for after the fact damage survey and not for
abort judgement?

There is no way that anyone could monitor all those cameras and see debris
falling at high speed live and mke decision to tell crews to abrot. What you
see on TV is very slow motion clip that probably took hours to isolate while
watching the whole think in very slow motion. There just isn't time during the
8 minute ride to orbit to do that.

No, it was live - I saw the whole thing live - I didn't have to be at work
until 8. And it flopped off, just like in the news reports. "Whoops! What
was that????"

I just get rankled that with all of that investigation stuff, they didn't
just go back to the design that worked, without falling apart.

There are those who say that it's the fault of environmentalists -
Personally, I think it's the fault of the nazi warlovers. They're rather
spend your money murdering people than exploring the new frontiers of
humankind.

Cheers!

Am I alone in thinking that Space shuttles are a little antiquated? We
haven't come up with a new design why? Might as well weld and Edsel airtight
and launch it!

NASA is working on the next generation shuttle. They spent an enormous
amount of money trying to fix the problem this time. I wonder if they would
have had better results by hiring Red Green and a truck load of duct tape.
