Yea, I don't write squat any more... I know... No major loss to the world...
However, occasionally there's just something that begs to be vented...
NASA is going to try to launch on Friday with a sketchy fuel cell on the shuttle... There all kinds of reasons they want to launch... But there's a real simple reason they shouldn't... THEIR OWN BLOODY FLIGHT RULES!!! They are supposed to have 3 good fuel cells to launch... They currently have 2, and one that is iffy...
Ya know what?... That's just dumb folks... Now hell I don't know what they need the damn thing for... It might just be a redundant or double redundant system... Hell it might be there to power some Christmas lights they decided to string around the cabin to be festive... But it doesn't really matter a bit why its there now does it... If they say you need 3 then you need 3...
Its called Go Fever folks, and its the same shitty culture that has gotten people dead in the past... You just have to wonder if NASA will ever get its head out of it's ass...
