What was the results of the Rogers Commision, ie what did 
NASA change.  I seem to recall that just another O-Ring was 
added. 

Someone mentioned (in this newsgroup) that he thought that 
a segmented SRB is a very bad idea.  Is a non-segmented 
SRB actually feasible without costing 1/2 of the current 
defense budget? How much more expensive would it be to make 
a Double wall SRB and would that be too heavy?.  

An off the wall question:  If enough fuel were available, 
would it be possible for the shuttle to make a journey to 
lunar orbit.  How long can the shuttle stay up, what are 
the constraints for power, air, ect.
