>According to one source, a total of three requests were made and rejected for imagery of Columbia in-orbit during the 16-day mission. In addition, the CAIB identified eight missed opportunities to determine the extent of the damage, all of which either got no response from mission management or resulted in no action being taken.
>According to the book Comm Check... by William Harwood and Michael Cabbage, some engineers were concerned that the foam strike on the left wing, clearly captured by video recorded during the launch, had caused more damage than initially thought. Based on computer modeling later proven inadequate, Ham's belief was that the damage was not serious and would at most merely lengthen the time necessary to refurbish Columbia between missions.
> Ham denied requests for high-resolution imaging of the shuttle based on her belief that the damage was too minor to be of consequence.[2] Former flight director Wayne Hale worked outside proper NASA channels in an effort to get imaging of the damage,[16] even though Ham had authority over this decision. In the aftermath of the mishap, Hale was promoted to Space Shuttle Program Manager and then on to NASA headquarters and Ham was demoted.
Now that the dust has settled, did she do anything wrong?

The relationship between velocity squared and gravitational potential energy

No.14155559 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Is this a real way to derive kinetic energy.

I hope you'll read what's in the picture and tell me what the logic in this is.

Is this just a coincidence? And why square velocity has a linear relationship with gravity. Also,

why write velocity in reverse because it is supposed to increase with decreasing weight and height.

or Is this just bullshit. by my retarded third world school

Do farmed humans have human rights, voting rights, etc.?

If no, why and how, legally?
If yes, it would be pretty easy to completely take over the entire USA in 18 years just by owning a sperm and egg donor clinic in all 50 states and planting voters with the excess rather than throwing it away.

y is function of x
for x=0.1, y=14.2
for x=0.2, y=15.04
How do I find x for y=15.75?
Do I have to keep plugging x into function till I get y I need or is there a faster way?

Is trans-humanism over-hyped? Ignoring the moral and ethical concerns for a second, how far have we actually come in terms of actually advancing the human form? it feels like a huge quantity of people on this board latched onto it without understanding the underlying sciences behind it.
