NASA removed large amounts of styrofoam insulation from the booster fuel tank, and fired its safety director last week. What's its odds of survival?

"The cost of each launch has turned out to be 100 times greater than originally planned. Two of the first 113 flights ended in catastrophe. The shuttle has a 1-in-56 chance of not making it back. The FAA noted that if airlines had the same accident rate as the shuttle, we would lose 40 airplanes every day."

Contrary to the pathological lies of our Media Mafia, the astronots were alive when they hit the water. The shuttle crew had oxygen and were wearing space suits and helmets. History Channel showed the crew capsule falling intact all the way down...

Citizen,
That's interesting. Does Rusty seem to have a preference for rats or mice? Are the mice really fat ?? Perhaps they are those genetically fat mice. And slightly off track - Do snakes like fatty foods as opposed to lean foods? Do they have limitations on the amount of fat they can eat? Since I've never owned a snake I don't know these things. (And since I'm allergic to 'normal' pets like mice, hamsters, rats, birds, dogs, cats, horses ... perhaps I should look into snakes ...)
