Hello Mike - 

MR> --- on the topic of "Columbia's 'computers'" 

CA>> Was your comment above intended to be 'constructive'? If
CA>> so, I missed the good parts. 

MR> Pot calling the kettle black, eh? This is really nothing
MR> personal 

Well uh, yes it IS personal. 

MR> So when you go off on a tangent in an unrelated echo bad
MR> mouthing how you did without much technical merit, I get a
MR> little annoyed. 

Posting a new 'topic' is not "going off" thank you very much. 

The TECH echo is not allowed to discuss the Coumbia? Are you on
drugs? 

My 'technical merit' is not for you to judge. Are you a PhD on
something or other flexing your grey-matter here with us lowly
technicians? 

MR> I've written some negative things myself but it was
MR> directed at the management of the shuttle program who I
MR> feel tend to ignore the safer choice when it conflicts with
MR> their "big picture" agenda. 

So, what you are saying is that you have the 'inside track' on
all of this and are annoyed by anyone invading your space? 

MR> The engineers aren't at fault for being over-careful and
MR> being forced to shut up by threats of dismissal by
MR> management when their science conflicts with the aims of
MR> the program. 

Engineers who know the design, construction, and QC on a
project is flawed and remain silent so that it costs other
people their lives "aren't at fault" since their own
self-interest to not have to find another job takes precedent
over human life? You're a wacko buddy!

MR> Hence the O-ring fiasco, et al. Really it's not personal,
MR> however, if you're going to do an opinion piece in a
MR> technical echo then, baybee, you're fair game! 

Keep in mind the door swings both ways "baybee".
