ahahaha... dunno, but in a corporate high-tech culture like
NASA you would get fired for mentioning the unsexy word
"Chicken wire"...... ahahaha... "going into space with chicken
wire... how dare you... are you mad!.... Think about the PR
disaster, should there go something wrong with chicken wire"
ahahahaha.... AHAHAHAHA.....
There was a controversy some few years back that laid the
blame for foam chunk & tile shedding solely onto the enviros,
the green shits and EPA, who banned the use of HCF Freon
that was used in the manufacturing/assembly process of the
foamed coatings, as blowing agents and adhesives. NASA
was forced to use the new Freon substitutes that do not destroy
the ozone layer, but apparently EPA did not care if it destroyed
the Orbiters....
So much for the care and ken of the green shits... ahahahaha...
ahaha.. ahahanson
