Nasa Loosens Safety requirments for Shuttle

After two major accidents killing numerous astronauts, why would nasa even consider loosening safety requirments for the shuttle? This is ridiculous. They should be tightening everything at this point in time. Right now going on past experience there is a 1 in 50 chance of a catastrophic accident on a shuttle flight. Would you ride in a car if there was a 1 in 50 chance of a death causing accident? I don't think so.

It sound like this is a move by NASA to get the shuttle back flying again, no matter what the risks. This is not the way NASA used to be, safety first, not PR first.
