Balta1701 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I will be surprised if they make July. They spent like 2 years after Columbia trying to fix the foam problem, and on the first flight, their fixes totally failed. That doesn't inspire confidenc.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since NASAs budget has just been HAMMERED in the last decade or so. To be honest it is amazing that more people haven't died as much as they are trying to do with as little money as they are getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
