Quote:Because I'm a nice guy, I'll expand for Nec: When STS-107 broke up on reentry, certain elements claimed that the chunks of foam insulation that caused the initial damage to Columbia did so specifically because the foam was made of an ozone-safe material. Therefore, evil hippie evirowhacko treehuggers killed our brave American astronauts, etc. This actually doesn't turn out to be true, as far as the Gehman Board was concerned - they focused on slipshod application practices, poor QC and a general inability to get communications up the chain of command. But it's a nice bumpersticker line for the handful of pro-CFC diehards, so it's trotted out every so often.---
I am curious about your line concerning killing astronauts. Please expand, as I am interested in what you have to say on the subject, and would like to evaluate the data before investing in tin-foil futures.
