Since I've read literally hundreds of these kinds of articles on sites that litter the net, and they all give conflicting viewpoints, I tend to discount that any one article has a deathgrip on the truth. > Do you > have any substantive comments or references at all instead of your inane > car comment? In all the years that these arguments have been bandied about, I have not seen any fatal holes poked in either camps arguments. Lots of points are made, sure. But no mass destruction of opposing viewpoints has occured. The article you posted contains sentiments that are currently popular due to the Columbias destruction and the loss of its crew. When all hands are lost on a Soyuz type vehicle (and at some point that surely will occur) you will see the opposite view popularized. Its something of a fad at the moment, as is general NASA bashing, and has very little to do with original or creative thinking on the part of the writer. Its more a case of bandwagon jumping than acutal critical thinking. > > How was that?
