46.但是Gehman說他已經做出了一個結論：如果說宇航局的高級管理官員們知道了哥倫比亞宇宙飛船的左翼有致命的故障存在，而美國航空航天總署卻不愿或不能對進入軌道的宇航員采取營救行動，這是不能令人信服的。
47.調察人員認為飛船起飛后不久隔熱泡沫從飛船的破損處流失，這導致了二月一日飛船返航時過熱的空氣穿過飛船的側翼引起大火并在內部融化了飛船的事故。
48.在這些決定中包括宇航局管理官員拒絕接受所給的關于哥倫比亞飛船左翼的隱患的衛星照片的決定。
49.調查委員會曾建議航空航天總署促成宇航局和掌管衛星和望遠鏡的軍方部門間更好的合作。
50.來自于美國軍方最先進的間諜衛星的照片是否能檢測出哥倫比亞飛船側翼上的兩英寸大小的破損，Gehman對此仍舊不敢肯定。

In this picture a man rudely opens a garbage can and violently throws all kinds of waste into it. However, the box is not an ordinary trash can, but is, as a matter of fact, the Earth. It is where survive, breed, and prosper. But as the drawing indicates, Earth does not receive an equal repayment. Quite the contrary, one of the biggest “gifts” humans return to Earth is an unbelievable amount of trash.
The picture purposefully points out a kind of pollution that arouses little public attention, that is, garbage. The past century has witnessed an unprecedented increase in garbage output, most of it technological products that are difficult to be decomposed through natural processes, such as plastics and glass. Furthermore, a recent report released that several major Chinese cities are already surrounded by circles of trash in the suburban areas, polluting air, water, and earth.
Hence, the issue of waste pollution needs to be addressed as one of the priorities that demand social efforts. Only through a holistic system of trash disposal can this problem be fully solved. Moreover, we should advocate a more frugal lifestyle so as to reduce the growing scale of waste pollution.
