You'd think they'd have some sort of back up plan.
Maybe they should have a circus troupe out there with a big net to catch it when it fell.
I guess that wouldn't have been expensive enough for NASA though. Maybe a giant robot with 8 wheels and a big catcher's glove made out of antiquated computers and leftover shuttle parts.
When is someone going to step and rid the world of NASA? Not that we shouldn't be exploring space and so forth, just not with NASA.
