NASA says Columbia Rescue was Possible

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hindsight-being-what-it-is dept.

nuke-alwin writes "Apparently NASA is saying that a rescue mission may have been possible for the Columbia crew. I first saw this on TV, but Chicago Sun-Times is also reporting the story. The risks would have been great, and may have endangered more astronaut's lives."

    Man that reminds me of a classmate in a high school math class:

    teacher: "Now if you turn to page 165.."
    student: "Ah man too bad it wasn't page 163, I turned right to it!!!"
