Concur that ABC sounded more accusatory this morning, at this point I think reasonable minds can have different conclusions re "careless attitude...ET debris." I sensed from the news, that this has been an issue with NASA since at least 1990... what that meant in terms of fixing it, or how to, vis a vis careless attitude in general & w/STS-107 I'm sure will take several months to sort out. hypothetically, are you saying, eg, that if a substantial number of the tiles fell off and the astronauts and NASA were fully aware of this, that they would simply deorbit knowing they would meltdown ?? if that IS the case, then it seems like the smart guys on this list should engineer a better system (or a PI atty might say "should have engineered...")
