My statistical challenge didn't hold up, but...

...laying aside statistics, I ask which is inherently 'safer'?

The NASA shuttle?...Or the Soyuz?

I wouldn't want to be onboard the shuttle if anything
goes dangerously wrong in the first 130 seconds
after LO.
And I'm very skeptical that the shuttle crew can pull off
a safe return to Cape Canaveral if TSHTF anytime between SRB separation
and the moment when the shuttle has enough kinetic-energy
to make it 'safely' across the Atlantic to one of the contingency
landing sites...You may disagree with my skepticism.

But we can agree to disagree.

BTW, Mr. Oberg!...You used to be a strong admirer of the Russian/Soviet
space program...What happened?

    - Regardless. In the practical sense, we don't have many choices left. (n/t) - Jacob - 4/27/2008 8:41:09 PM
