It is amazing how they will pounce on a biased media report, but many people are reading this thread. This was not possible 7 years ago when places such as Free Republic were not around.
Places like Free Republic gives a person to hear the other side, basically that a rescue would have been nearly impossible, and to hear voices that say that NASA isn't the evil entity as being purveyed by some on this thread, but a place filled with people who try to do their best in a business where disaster lurks around every corner.
