I can agree with both sides of the issue but the fact remains that NASA gave the go ahead even though they knew that things werent 100%. If I were in a space craft doing somewhere in the nieghborhood of 25,000 mph I would hope that my ground support did EVERYTHING in its power to make sure I was going to be ok. They knew the shuttle was hit by debris on the way up. The least they could have done was get a pic from a satellite. If Ford were to be having funding problems do you think they would let out cars with potentially catacalysmic flaws....hmmm....ok bad analogy, forget that! Even tho NASA has had budget cuts does that mean someone would say..ok our budget has been cut 10% so we will drop our safety standards 10%...IMHO its the ones who knew there was a problem at take off that are the ones to blame.
