‘Lessons which have been paid for so dearly’

The report’s goal, NASA officials said, is to provide a guideline for safety in the design of future spacecraft. In a conference call with reporters on Tuesday, N. Wayne Hale, Jr., a former head of the shuttle program, said, “I call on spacecraft designers from all the other nations of the world, as well as the commercial and personal spacecraft designers here at home, to read this report and apply these lessons which have been paid for so dearly.”

Tragic to read yet again NASA overlooked good advise that lead to these deaths. Im kind of wondering when nasa is likely to roll out its exotic propulsion tech. As long as were affectively sitting in a ’sardine can’ stuck to a firework there will always be insane velocities on re-entry. I have a hunch one day we will look at this method as a fantastically primitive ;)
