NASCAR engineers never would have allowed Space Shuttles Challenger and
Columbia to launch.  "If that bird ain't safe, we are going to
blackflag it until it is!"

The problems on Challenger and Columbia were well known before they
were sent up on their ill-fated missions.  But NASA (and some have
suggested the government knew as well) that those problems existed but
still allowed the flights to go on.

As a result, 7 astronauts were sacrificed to the Gods.

NASCAR engineers never would have let those birds fly, given their
problems.  Whenever there is a car with apparent safety issues, those
in charge of NASCAR will not allow that car to participate.

NASA would do well to take the same tack when it comes to Space Shuttle
launchings!
