some of you might still be wondering: how did the shuttle break apart? we all know the answer, foam from the external tank hit the wing. but my question is, did NASA care?

few or many engineers were very worried and concerned. but NASA didnt see anything wrong with a piece of foam weighing 2lbs crashing into the wing portain of the shuttle at 500mph. one engineer was so concerned, he wanted photographic shots of the wing to examine the damage. but it wasnt done. not because the request was denied, but the request was never executed. if they would listen the crew could still be alive today. but NASA is just like the FBI, CIA and the US govt, hiding cruical information. how it all happen after the foam broke off is that during re-entry, heat entered the wing and flared up the inside, damaging the wheel housing. as the heat increased, more problems created in the wing involving the plasma, which cause discenigration. accident investigators created expiriments reinacting the take-off incident, and it showed a big hole, larger than a human head.

now i getting scared but i still have plans to explore space. should i even trust NASA, i mean, look at my creation:

my starship. they do something stupid and kill me and my entire crew. maybe i should stay with the MTA in new york but i'm just very intellignet in engineering. i can build this ship but........................they could just kill me off fast. what if the type of steel used on the hull is weak and theres a breach? what if its not properly insulated against heat? what if they create a flaw in my computer systems and months or years later a virus corrupts my system?

i thought i could have my future all planned out and these pple could ruin it in a second.

Russians?..Dont work with the Russians...If your gonna do tha why not work with the Germans...See, then you'd fail right away...Nah I'm kidding though, in space stuff and what not the Russians are pretty good..so you could get some decent equipment for some low prices...or take over thier country...They still got a leader?

The space ship had a hole in it when it crashed... Of course everyone knows this already but what did cause the hole...

lol snake. my advice is to find another dream. cause space ships are hard to maintain. if there is any little thing wrong with it it will probally explode into a million pieces :laughlong: hope im not scare'n ya ;)

i know the dangers. remember the challenger accident? small little malfuction during take-off causes it to explode.

but i concerned if NASA is gonna take action on small or big problems. did u ever know that there was a report about the external tank giving problems during take-off from the engineers since 1990? there was a close call with atlantis.

i used to want to be an astronaut. but now im stayin my black ass on land. id rather go crab fishing in alaska then to go in a space ship that needs all that extra care. and crab fishing in alaska is one of the most dangerous jobs i the world. but those crabs are huge. let me stop. im getting of topic.
