...cameras in the unmanned Ranger 6 moon probe were blinded during lift-off when plasma seeped into the booster. The failure of the mission caused a sensation at the time, and the space agency took measures to shield its camera systems. How could the new NASA get burned by such an old enemy? Two engineers who submitted reports to the nine-member crash investigation board told TIME last week they believe the problems may be more institutional than technical. With budgets tight, safety protocols may have been allowed to erode over time. When problems or anomalies were spotted, administrators...
...different sort of warning for the 400 scientists, academics, artists, clerics and business executives attending TIME's DNA fest was sounded by Vice Admiral Richard Carmona, the new U.S. Surgeon General. Replying to the many scientists trying to get the Bush Administration to lift its partial ban on embryonic stem cell research, he urged them not to get ahead of the American public. People are still quite baffled by this sort of research, he said, and need to be educated about it. "Science must take care it does not leave the public behind," he said...
Those investigations got under way even before the shuttle debris was cool. The most notorious piece of evidence was the bit of hardened foam that fell from the external fuel tank during lift-off, striking Columbia's left wing area. Applied like shaving cream, the foam dries to the hardness of a brick, which could conceivably damage the fragile external tiles that protect the shuttle during its fiery re-entry. When it was later disclosed that the spacecraft had spent 39 days idling on the pad before launch--enduring episodes of freezing rain that could have loosened the foam further...
