Posted by Olog-hai on Mon Sep 29 19:54:58 2008, in response to Hubble fails; shuttle delayed, posted by Orange Blossom Special on Mon Sep 29 19:03:05 2008. Now this part is enough to give people nightmares:The Hubble is in a further orbit than the international space station. Should Atlantis be damaged during liftoff there'll be no "safe haven" where the crew could dock and await rescue. Therefore, NASA wants a second shuttle at the ready just in case something happens and they need to launch a rescue effort.Certainly takes being fearless to risk that, eh? |
