Wow... there's a real positive thought to add to the discussion. I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be a motivational/inspirational thread. If it's not your cup of tea, just skip it next time.

Look, I'm not here to make friends or enemies; the guys in charge screwed up both times we lost space shuttles, the victims paid the price. The guys in charge are planning to try again in mid May.

Sure, it's tragic, and they knew the risk, but the rewards weren't expected to be discovery but were seen as celebrity and we have way too much of that as motive now for foolhardy behavior.

So, if it happens again, do we reuse the same hankies or do we ask the really important questions?
