The forum is feeling the cold and not working properly. Good job it isn't a space shuttle really.

Yes, indeed there was more than a sniff of NASA incompetence and arse-covering going on with Challanger. It made for a very horrific story.

Well perhaps because you said "I have a car with a leaky gearbox"..... and didn't bother to mention it wasn't in any of your previous replies?

I'm sure the forum is more reliable than that deathtrap shuttle.

It's odd that many say Russian tech is far behind but they've only lost 4 cosmonauts in the entire Soyuz program which has been going for 40 odd years, the very vehicle that is the sole transport to the ISS now the shuttle has been retired.

You quoted a post made by Jim which contained a quote by Malcolm. You edited the quoted text to just include the line you wanted but inadvertently removed Jim's quote tag and left Malcolm's.

So despite the weather, the forum is running fine.

He's keeping us guessing isn't he Malcolm. I reckon he's actually got a Nissa Micra and is not telling us. Terrible for leaky gearboxes those are...
