shut it down That isn't in the cards; a fresh, new program to explore and develop outer space with renewed American determination is. International cooperation will be welcomed. Foreign astronauts will be encouraged to participate.
Israel was very proud of their astronaut and happy to participate with the American space program. They will be more than pleased to continue, especially considering the sacrifices made by all parties. The bond is stronger than ever.

Did you notice that in their first official statement they expressed a sorrow for the loss of the crew but they said that after we bury our dead, that Israel looks forward to continuing its participation in manned exploration. Very sensible. And a very kind remark to us as well. They're not blaming us. They want to keep going. That's what makes Israel great. I think we should offer them a seat on the next shuttle mission if they have a qualified astronaut.
