Completely agree! Here is another alternative series of rescues. Ones which cannot be denied by NASA dweebs: it is in their book! Check out this useless contingency plan link: nasaexplores.com The reason they are all useless is each needs immediate decision to take the option; and many would result in the loss of the shuttle. NASA, being the political-committee-decision-making-cover-your-ass-three-ways-monster it has become, could not make a decision that would result in damage to the shuttle, let alone loss. Not without clearance up the ying yang. They claim not to have noticed the debris hitting the wing until a long time after it was useless. That I simply do not believe. I know the launch tracking videos are closely monitored. Any idiot in his or her right mind could see the quantity of material coming off the wing was 100 times that which struck it. It even looks like it came from the leading edge or wheel well area, for goodness sake. The Challenger never made it to SRM cuttoff to make the ALS (Africa) a possibility, but the Columbia did. In theory. That's what should have happened. -Own
