Even with these odds I'd gladly hop on a shuttle tomorrow - even before they conclusively find the cause of the Columbia accident.

Me also.. In a second.

Man was made to explore and nothing is "conquered" till there's an American standing on it.

Everyone is going to die.. It's a fact. Its just a matter of when.

They died with glory and honor, knew the risks and didn't care.

There's no reason to abandon the space program over our fallen heroes.

I am reminded of Sparta when I think of the astronauts.

Heroes to the last man.
