It is very sad whenever something like this happens.....but listening to the families of the astronauts on the tv, they were saying that the shuttle launches should continue - its what 'they' would of wanted....and I hope they do. NASA's track record for incidents is fairly minimal, but sooner or later you are going to have an incident which is very unfortunate.....but life must go on, that is the way we should think of it.. |

Reminds me of when Ronald Reagan gave his speech after the 'Challenger' disaster. Many people thought he was an idiot, but I thought he was a much more sincere president. "The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honoured us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.' " Rest in Peace..... |

I am not opposed to shuttle launches. But when you build these shuttles as cheaply as possible bad things will happen. The Challenger and Columbia were the two oldest ships shuttles in the fleet. |

i'd forgotten his words, they really are touching........especially that last part *saves that in my quotes file* it's not to lessen anything about their untimely death, but they died doing what they loved, from everything i heard they were living their dreams. not many can say that. |

They were not build as cheaply as possible though! "In spite of the age of the shuttle Columbia, NASA spokesman Diller says the ship was continually maintained, and the space agency had planned to keep it in service for many more years. "Columbia, even though it was our first orbiter and our oldest one, had been upgraded to state-of-the art technology on the flight deck," he said. "And in fact we had expected Columbia to continue in the fleet for a long time. Each of the orbiters is designed for 100 flights, and Columbia was on its 28" |
