Wait a sec... How did it slow down to 100MPH from 25 000+MPH without anything to slow it down? (parachute, parafoil) |

I'm two sided on this. I agree with bravecoward how it's not easy. On the other hand, while spending all that money on these things, don't you think they should give thereselves time to make sure it's gonna work correctly, instead of rushing to it just to get disaster.. -------------

Is that taxpayer money that is spread out all over the desert in that picture? Smooth move NASA... It may be hard stuff, but they are definatley getting paid enough to do it. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. ------------- WAR EAGLE!!! |

But the way they were doing it was idiotic. Catching it with helicopters? What were they thinking?

Things speed up when coming into the atmosphere. Near the bottom it said that it was going towards the planet at 600MPH and then it sped up to 25 000+MPH |

There was plenty to slow it down, it's called friction caused by the atmosphere.  -------------

If Nasa screws up anymore in the next 2 years, I think that it will be the final nail in the coffin. You say its not easy....hmmmm....Thats thier job, they have nothing better to do than to do test upon test. If I was pres, I would try to reform Nasa. Na screw it, I would give it back to the air force, they did more in their short time than Nasa ever has. |

I don't think that any of us are allowed to call NASA "morons"...especially after the types of posts I read on here...
