"NASA investigators said today that a piece of insulation that broke off the shuttle's external fuel tank about 80 seconds after liftoff was now a prime suspect in the cascading series of failures that destroyed the shuttle Columbia 16 days later," John M. Broder writes in February 3 New York Timesstory. "Engineers had dismissed the impact of the debris on the shuttle as 'inconsequential' in a report issued 11 days into the shuttle mission. But Ron D. Dittemore, the shuttle program manager, said today that the engineers might have been wrong and that the space agency was 'redoing the analysis from scratch.'" posted by micah holmquist at 2/04/2003 12:02:00 PM
