Engineers have been unable to duplicate any leaks aboard Columbia without first pumping super cold liquid Hydrogen fuel through the ships convoluted plumbing a hazardous and expensive operation. Robert Schwinghamer the Nasa Engineer in charge of the leak investigation is considering a plan to chill the fuel lines with dry ice before pumping helium through the system in a bid to pinpoint the leak.
