James - Man your off base, I don't care if he weighs 400 lbs, ( on earth) out in space he is weightless. This is the problem. You do not grasp basic physics. Weightless, yes. Inertialess, no. Pounds are both a unit of weight and a unit of mass. And ad hominem attacks are only invalid when they are not to the point. Experience and knowledge is very to the point. Perhaps your knowledge of big software programs should be something you look at - does the software you participated in building, which is probably trivially simple in comparison (no offense is intended, but complexity is the point here and the shuttle is hugely complex), still have bugs today. Bet it does. And that is the point. It is virtually impossible to make a truly complex system error proof. Clark
