We have to stop all space flights until it is perfectly safe.
Uh, how are we going to learn how to make it safe?
Guess what, OReilly. More people died today in automobile accidents than died in the space shuttle. All of these untimely deaths are tragic. Could we have done more to prevent those deaths? Probably. Could we have done more to prevent the astronauts deaths? Probably.
Am I going to stop driving my car? No. Would I go up in the next space shuttle? You bet your life, I would! And I would bet my life, I would.
If given a choice knowing they were going to die, do you think the astronauts would have preferred to die in one of those automobile accidents... or on the space shuttle?
I know what my choice would be. Somethings are worth risking your life.
That is my point...
