After a hiatus of 2 1/2 years, NASA engineers launched the Discovery shuttle and encountered the same problem?falling insulation foam from the external fuel tank during lift-off?that doomed the previous shuttle, the Columbia, in 2003. NASA's engineers, managers and technicians should refund to the government the full amount of their salaries and benefits for the past 2 1/2 years. Rod Rawson Miami...
