fearless prediction of the month

fearless prediction of the month

Jason Verheydon blogs about the shuttle launch delay. My prediction: no shuttle will ever launch again. The design is just so faulty, they can never ever live up to the recommendations of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board. The necessary modifications require testing which turns up more problems than the modifications have solved; solving those problems results in more testing which turns up more problems... the cycle will not end. The design is bad, and no amount of tweaking and duct-taping will make it a good design.
