marketing over reality. spin over truth. more of this stuff from this administration. they seem to forget that people's lives are at stake.

top nasa officials on saturday cleared discovery for a july 1 launch, despite objections from the agency's chief safety officer and engineer who wanted more time to address the launch debris threat. - houston chron - june 18th

the johnson space center's director of engineering said monday that nasa has removed him from the management team for the space shuttle flight scheduled for saturday after he expressed support for workers who questioned preparations for the flight.

charles camarda, 54, a former shuttle astronaut and veteran aerospace engineer, said in an e-mail to colleagues that his removal from involvement in the scheduled launch of discovery, on which he flew last year, was against his will. the e-mail was distributed to others, including reporters. - houston chron - june 27th
