Eco-Nuts caused Columbia to fail

This has not been widely reported, and is almost unknown, but it needs to be said. The Environmental groups active in Florida had petitioned the EPA to ban the use of CFC Insulation foam due to the irrational fears that we could affect the Ozone. Of course, if you stick around to read my upcoming report on the chlorine in Volcanoes, you will understand what I am talking about more.

Anyways, back to the foam. The previous foam had been used for years without a significant amount of foam falling off of the fuel tank. After the EPA came in and forced the change, the amount of foam falling off increased significantly, causing more and more scaring on the Thermal Tiles that are so important to the preservation of life for the astronauts on board.

Now, the question is thus. Do we go back to the old foam that might have had a small effect on the environment, or do we go with the new foam that has caused significant damage to the shuttle and has resulted in the loss of life.

Seeing as the Shuttle is going to be retired soon, I vote for the old foam. After all, the Shuttle is going to be necessary to build the Space Elevator. And that is going to be the most "Green" method of space travel available.
