In the private sector, risking astronaut’s lives when you know a problem exists can result in jail time - what will happen to NASA?
1 comments

1. The entire mission is “risking astronaut’s lives”.

2. NASA employees don’t have criminal immunity.

Who went to jail for the STS deaths?
Who was criminally negligent beyond a reasonable doubt? And how often do you see execs go to jail for product safety issues?
