#1 Good grief - has it come to this, they need good lighting now?

I remember that Apollo 12 was struck by lightning. That was the NASA I was brought up on.

#2 This NASA program manager sounds about as irresponsible as the one who rejected engineers' requests to use advanced imagery and observe damage to the Columbia before it attempted its doomed return.

If they have a failing sensor, and they can't find and fix the cause of the problem -- they should ask themselves how many other parts of the system are beyond their comprehension. Sadly, manned space-flight at NASA is a total disappointment.

By the way, wasn't there a worldwide Moslem gloating when the Columbia disintegrated?
