I posted this story in a thread in M&L a few days ago about a military flight of Atlantis that
had a close call with catastrophy:

Another forum that I read (and post in rarely) on alternate history development has a thread on
"What if the failure had happened"
http://www.alternatehistory.com/discuss ... p?t=120205
So, what would have happened if a Columbia like failure had occured just two flights after
Challenger?
Please try to keep to the "what if" and what would happen, rather than getting into a
bashing of NASA, government programs in general etc. The what if naature of this
question is why I put it here rather than M&L.
Try and be creative about longer term logical consequences. "It would be the end of
the Shuttle program" is nearly a given level of obviousness.
