Okay, but is it just me or do anyone of you find the NASA press conference too emotional? Yes, I understand their grief, but I do expect better from professionals.

I see the same way. Platoons of grief counselors are their way. Welcome to today's America where the scientists emote and (with Title 9) the women have 50% of funds for college sports and sports scholarships. It's a mega tragedy and I won't sully it any further. But this is how see it.

Good grief.

Are you the person who says, "Okay, it's time to just move on now! What's done is done!" halfway through the funeral of somebody's teenage child?

Let's just become robots! How much easier that would be!

These people just watched seven friends die and a priceless asset to their life's work ripped to millions of pieces...and you want them to be Spock.

You stay professional on console. I KNOW! I have been on console for launch failures. However, it hits you right in the gut soon after.

Come on, dennisw. Why is it necessary to sully it at all?
We don't have to do this now. These issues are separate from what's happening here. If we can't cut these people some slack for expressing some grief, we have become too jaded and too hard.
