For even as he tries to rally an anxious nation and doubting allies for a war, he will face a new, if predictable, challenge: public demands for answers and political demands for accountability.

This is what sickens me! Somehow it's got to be someone's fault, no matter what happens, they have to find someone to blame. Yes, they need to find out what happened in order to fix it but people, especially those in government, need to grow up and understand that if we're going to do risky things to open the future, bad things may just happen.

Yes, we should mourn the loss of these wonderful people, but we have to stop over-reacting to everything that happens. Life is risky, life out in space is even more risky. Last week we lost 4, count them 4, fine servicemen in a crash in Afghanistan, yet the media and the democrats didn't even pause for a moment of silence.

I agree. This is space flight for God sakes. There are huge risks involved. To somehow tie this into world events as the NYT is trying to do is an obscenity.

Politics knows no end. People are tied to their political philosophies no matter what. It sickens me totally to read such garbage.

Ok I'm done......nice post once again.
