Comment on “Why I Wasn’t Devastated”: Remembering the Shuttle’s Last Visit to Mir, 25 Years On by Charles Phillips

I worked the entire Mir program from Early Progress through to the end. It was exciting but the Mir was such a compromised vehicle that it was NEVER safe to fly in. I worked closely with Shannon Lucid, Dave Wolf, Mike Foale, etc and the Russian attitude towards safety was not acceptable. NASA didn’t take safety seriously but the Russians thought it was not needed.
