NASA Finds 4-5" Crack in Shuttle Insulation
PresidentKang writes "Spaceflight Now is reporting that a large crack has been found in an external tank foam of Space Shuttle Discovery on the launch pad. According to the article: "Engineers inspecting the shuttle Discovery's external tank following Sunday's launch scrub found a crack in the tank's foam insulation near a bracket holding a 17-inch oxygen feed line in place. Some engineers believe the crack must be repaired but senior managers say a variety of options are on the table, from fly as is to making repairs.""
No, you give it a rest. Not everyone who happens to mention a MS product is blaming them for global warming, world hunger, and AIDS. PowerPoint is so widely used that "PowerPoint Presentation" has become a more or less generic expression that people tend to use even when (as in this case) we have no clue what's used inside NASA. The point of the post you're complaining about is the over-reliance on bullet-point style presentations, and it's a valid point whether they're made with PowerPoint or with Sharpies.
