Do I smell liability concerns in the government? I read today that the families of the crew of Challenger got $1 million apiece.

I dunno. Doesn't seem like they'd really need to care, since a) I'm sure it was built into their NASA contracts that they had to admit to knowing they were getting into a seriously dangerous field and thus giving up a lot (if not all) of their rights to sue; and b) "The government" never pays. WE do. If they end up having to pay umpteen million per family, then next year's budget will just be increased by that much to make up for it.
