And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
when you consider that the STS program was built by the lowest bidder with 1970s technology, it is a testament to the diligence of maintenance it received that only two crews and shuttles were lost due to management failures. all the crews and all the people in the STS program knew what the risks were. Management people were thinking of something other that safety when they made decisions and ignored protocols and doctrine learned at great cost. still, I considered the program a success.
