re: Fair enough, Scoop
You're still spouting trash.
The crew compartment is about 75% unprotected w.r.t. heat. The other '4' sides are essentially unprotected - and at the altitude, velocity and dynamic pressure that Columbia broke apart at - seperating the crew compartment would, essentially, be contributing to the certain death of the crew
When things go wrong at the altitiude that they did for Columbia - there is nothing you can do. The situation will always be unrecoverable. Even if your intentions are sound ( which they dont sound like ) - you're barking up a non-existant tree,.
You're WORSE than Maxson.
