IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! Look up the deaths of test pilots. For crying out loud the only reason we have a space program is the fact that normal people can accept that the risk is outweighed by the benefit and that there is a certain rare breed of human that is willing to knowingly take those risks. When 7 people get in a tube strapped to the equivalent of a very unstable small nuke and the slightest miscalculation is more than likely fatal then it is a bloody miracle that we get any of them back alive. If your attitude had prevailed in the beginning the closest we would have been to space would still be in the movies. I don’t think you have any concept of just how PERFECT each and every launch, orbit and re-entry has to be for getting anyone back alive. Space travel is NOT ROUTINE and it will take a century for it to become so.
