There will be more accidents down the road. Life is about taking risks and chances.. We can't play it safe forever...

That is true Kevin, but it would be helpful if the next catastrophic failure doesn't involve something NASA knew for certain was a problem in months, weeks or even days prior to the launch.

I think one of mankind's greatest, under-reported space leaps was just a few months ago. Back when Burt Rutan and Co. captured the X-Prize. His genius designs got his ship up into the "wild black yonder" with a proportionally small budget and no heat tiles for the return. Was a stunning thing to behold.

once bitten, twice shy, man. We don't have enough of those shuttles to afford atomizing another one - let alone losing another crew of the best this planet has to offer.
Anyone know if we have plans to build a non-atari powered shuttle in the near future? I know of the mission to the moon/mars and a space worthy C130 is certainly in order if we are to populate the moon.
