We are at the end of this tragic day and all ready the pundits are talking about things they know little about and what will happen to NASA. If these people would just stop and think for once - we have a Space Station up there that can't be ignored for more than a few months. We have men on it, in other words, the project (s) must go on and another shuttle must be built ASAP.
Write your congressmen to support any immediate program to start building another shuttle, we cannot wait for the endless rounds of partisan bickering; some needless social programs will just have to be shelved and the money put to use for a new shuttle.
We still have the Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.
