Sequence of Events During Columbia Mission

Posted by michael on from the hindsight-is-20-20 dept.

applemasker writes "Today's NYT is reporting that NASA managers actively resisted requests from vehicle engineers for on-orbit imagery. This should answer Administrator O'Keefe's question of why no engineers 'spoke up' during the flight. Seems they did; managers just ignored them."

      I believe with the advent of first post, we discovered new ways to think and it has to do with piecing together new thoughts of mind. Why is it that people are so afraid of it ? What is it about it that scares people so deeply ?

      Because they are afraid that there is more to reality than they have ever confronted. That there are doors that they are afraid to go in and they don't want us to go in there either because if we go in, there we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.

    That New York Times website is total bullshit. It takes two full minuites to reload after a misstyped password, then rejects the password untill you close your browser and start the whole thing over again. CRAP. whoever built that website is a total moron. I really wish I coud read the article, but obviously they NYT could give a damn if anything actually functions to enable this.

    Idiots
