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.

Thank you, RA, for this insight. I think we all can appreciate how professionals must handle the crisis at the time, but the emotional devastation afterward must be crushing.

I offer my heartfelt condolances to you, my friend, as you are indeed a permanent part of NASA's extended family.
