Warren says:
"events leading to the Challenger explosion was the cause. A bit of
insulation on the main fuel tank impacted the wing and damaged it which
led to the engress of plasma upon reentry. Had NASA had a working
brain............................."
^ Plasma ?
Go on brains.....what was it then Ian?
Do tell.
Ablative shields were fitted simply because, at re entry speeds,
spacecraft heat up due to the speed of the airflow and melt or, at least,
cook the crew.
No 'Plasma' of any kind that I can think of, seems to be involved.
Perhaps there is a syndrome caused by watching too much Star Trek that
leads people to believe that NASA spacecraft have 'Plasm manifolds'.
Any advance on the above explanation very welcome. Ian (G0TEZ).
All the best - Ian, G0TEZ @ GB7YFS.#26.gbr.eu
