If investigators can determine from all the wreckage and debris that the explosion was caused by a 17 foot long crack in a booster engine, why were technicians and quality control engineers unable to find the 17 foot long crack in the booster engine while it was still intact?

cuz they are american
powers (guest) - August 24, 2006, 18:58
i'm sure that "american" comment stems from your country having had a much better record of sending things into space? like going to the moon, creating space stations, building reusable vehicles....controlling 80% of all traffic in space... stuff like that?

Wooohoo!! Happy new year!
but couldn't they wait till its dark?
someguy (guest) - August 25, 2006, 04:12
Powers, Rap1ds comment didnt suggest that Americans are not proficient in sending things into space. His comment reflects the bs excuses and lies that Americans do provide for many other "mishaps".

"it looks like a warzone", "cars are totally destroyed" ...
Lucky noone was injured. I mean it's not like the US would ever intentionally fired lethal missiles from the sky towards unsuspecting civilans.
hey, wait a minute ..
