"....the shuttle 14."

Yes; and in their memory, we must press the agency to take better care of its flyboys and girls.

I fully agree. We don't need to go off half-cocked, though; getting all of the evidence, isolating events and time-lines, coordinating anomalies, et al; will take time and patience -- something not evident from some of the posters I've seen so far. "A lie travels half-way round the world before the truth gets its pants on." I do hope that NASA learned from the Challenger and doesn't try to withhold information that could help resolve this tragedy and enhance the future safety of other missions and crews.
