Higgs,

Used to read TechBriefs. It was not uncommon for someone to claim to have
invented something that had been in common use for a long time. I take
NASA's claims with a grain of salt.

Hi,
Space program is not just waste of money. Many trickle down
technology(industry). My high school buddy has a patent on special
electrical cables which don't break or crack in extreme temperatures.
He is one of designated supplier by NASA.

Do either of you actually know the story about that failure ? I do , I
worked on that booster system , in several capacities . A good friend was
still employed there I had already moved to Tn. and I got the real skinny
the day after the crash . And yes , a chilled o-ring caused the failure ,
but Floriduh just doesn't get that cold - unless there's a liquid hydrogen
line leak spraying .
Back story to the whole episode is that the Thiokol engineers told 'em not
to launch , politics overruled and people died . Pretty much like
politicians everywhere . It's easy to spill blood when it ain't your own .

I will NEVER forget watching on TV as the late, much-lamented Richard Feynman -- one of the authentic geniuses of this or any era -- did his thing with the glass of ice water and the O-rings immersed therein. While all the stuffed shirts who had been dicking around for weeks in the so-called "investigation" looked on, Feynman said -- masterpiece of understatement - I almost remember the exact words, modestly spoken: "I think this may have some relevance to our investigation.."

He had gotten up early in the morning and found a hardware ? store open to buy the needed supplies for his demonstration.

Whatta guy! They still tell tales at Caltech about how somebody would put a problem on the board; the other physicists would be going through the routine steps; Feynmna would just stand there. Suddenly he would write the correct answer on the board while the others were still plowing through their steps. If I were a religious person, I'd say he was in touch with the "divine". Whatever...things just came to him via a different path...

I thought this historic program
had a lot of merit. Sad that the
gentlemen back then didn't get any
press. Well, not until now.

"Blackstranauts" too damn funny.

Any time that money is invested in research there are benefits. With NASA, the most obvious spinoff is cordless power tools.

But, just consider all of the technological spin offs of the Second World War:
1. radar and sonar
2. the jet engine for aircraft
3. rockets and rocketry
4. nuclear reactors and nuclear propulsion for ships
5. Plastic Laminates (like Formica)

My mother had one of those Buick Electra 225 aircraft carriers. Of
course back in those days there were no seat belt laws and a vehicle
like that was what large families used as a bus. I have 8 siblings and I
can remember a half dozen of my little brothers and sisters piling into
the back of one of the huge cars my parents owned. I don't know how my
parents coped back in the middle of the last century even with a dollar
that was actually worth something. o_O

Back when, Mom could stay home. Folks knew each
other phone number, and would ring if someone
saw a kid getting into mischeif. Bible was taught
at home, and kids got some attention from parents.
Kids biggest risk was jumping off the garage roof,
not child abduction by some at-home orphan who
grew up in a rich home with no love or attention.
Making millions singing while wearing one glove.

What do Walmart and Michael Jackson have in common?
