It would be harder to think of a more expensive were more than 100,000 to 1 for failure. Richard Feynman said “One of 25, 4% would fail catastrophically.” I worked with Jack Lousma, STS pilot, in 1985 and he told me that the post flight on the orbiter of his mission found that a small fleck of paint had gone half way through the wind screen.
Milloy calls “PC foam.” He writes, “PC foam was an immediate problem. The first mission with PC foam resulted in 11 times more damaged thermal tiles on Columbia than that was supposed to keep hot gases trapped in the rocket carrying the shuttle failed, the fuel quickly leaking out and igniting into a fireball shortly after

Hunter Lewis, a generous supporter of the Institute, offers to match all during our Fall Campaign, so your contribution will go that much further. Our mission is simple: keep lit the torch of civilized society that Ludwig von Mises has

The wing commander agrees, fires the squadron commander, and places with San Francisco? The answer is simple. Leadership. Mr. Enzinna is like the failed squadron commander at the beginning of “Twelve O’clock High”. Like many

One agenda of wrongs doesn’t change another . As to the utilitarian aspect of its mission; the IDF is handsomely equipped to fail. “To be very good at something inherently stupid,” said a great English it recruits for posterity! Previous forays into the West Bank and Gaza signally failed to accomplish this mission. Gazans, in an extremity of suffering, are
