[FPSPACE] Columbia report

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi all

Why do I have this feeling that there'll be even more coming out on the Columbia failure after the inaugural... 

Another item that is sorely needed is a big bright on hatch bail-out indicator - red, no go; yellow, maybe; green, yes. 

Consider this - Every weekend during NASCAR season we watch drivers walk away from 200 mile per hour crashes. Now General Aviation crashes are in that range, and what do you think the current NASA administration has done to improve the cabin and seat safety of General Aviation aircraft? Damn little, as near as I know. If any of you know any different, then do tell.

E.P.
