What Should be done in light of the space shuttle disasters.?

Question

Really these guys have only fixed the current shutles. The united states is down two Space shuttles, Somethings got to be done. I'm not asking as to what the next "space shuttle" should be. i just wanna know what can we do. not that i can do anything about it but, but this is a serious problem that needs fixing and is really burning in my head. no answer is to rediculus, really i could use a good laugh.

Answer 1

NASA is starting work on a new vehicle. See the source. It is a capsule on an expendable rocket, much like Apollo, not a new shuttle, but it is intended to replace the shuttle.

Answer 2

Of course, on paper, all remotely competent models would be acceptable. What it all comes down to, then, is being as careful as possible in construction and inspection. Thus, the people working on the project are a salient factor, because you need people to construct, and people to plan.

The engineers planning the shuttles aren't making egregious errors, unless of course they fail to consider the "people" factor. There needs to less bureaucracy, less frivolous side matters, and due attention to the shuttle matter at hand. That may never happen with nasa though.

Answer 3

correction: NASA has 3 space shuttles in its fleet: Endeavour (currently going under a major modification), Discovery and Atlantis. and there has only been two disasters in the 20-plus years that the space shuttle has been in operation.
(i had to correct you haha)

Also, NASA is developing a new crew vehicle that is designed to be carried on top of an Ares V or Ares I rocket into space.

Answer 4

The next generation of shuttles in on the board right now. Theoretically, they should be flying in 5-10 years.

The ESA(?) is designing their own shuttle, and the Russian have a design on the table, however theirs is likely to never even reach the prototype stage due to lack of funding.

Answer 5

The space shuttles are set to be retired in 2010, and are to be replaced by better spacecraft in what is called the Constellation Program.

Answer 6

Columbia replaced into no longer brought about via electric powered errors in any respect and you will no longer discover such statements interior the record. Columbia replaced into brought about to ninety% via administration errors accrued over an prolonged time. that's what those passages inform you. significant assessments had no longer been made, extreme judgements took too long and had a extreme possibility of having lost interior the forms. The final fact basically tells the end result: It had to reenter with a broken warmth shield, broken in the time of launch, via debris from the ET, which replaced into referred to in all trip flights in the previous, yet by no skill critically researched. injury on the RCC panels replaced into even intentionally exceeded over.

Answer 7

1.) Learn from it
2.) Continue based on what is learned

That's all there is to it.

Keep politics, political correctness, and people that cannot handle risk and the consequences of risk out of the equation.

The best teacher is failure. Trying in vain to avoid taking risks to avoid failure is the road the stagnation.

- or for a laugh -

Invest in more nuclear weapon research rather than space research to keep us nice and safe here on Earth.

Answer 8

we need to push ahead more rapidly with the next generation craft

Answer 9

Keep on moving foward!
