Pushing back the eedges of the 'envelope' will always be dangerous,these 7 men and women lost their lives securing a future for all mankind.
I feel sorry for their families , friends, and work colleages, who are now suffering a form of hell.
These were speical people, heros of our technical age, and that makes their deaths all the more worse.

I would love to. but as I`m no scientest or USAF Pilot or dont have enough money to pay way to space. I reall can see my self going to space :( :(

Would anybody here take the challenge of travelling in space if they could??

Pick me!!! Pick me!!! I'll do it!!!

107 flights, 2 accidents. more like 1 in 50 chance of something going wrong

Sympathies to the families. Its a terrible shame.

The question invariable arises as to why the shuttle burnt up.

It must be said that the space shuttle is firmly out of date and NASA and the U.S government bears all the responsiblity for this. It has been noted that the chances of something going wrong was as high as 1 in 100!!

I think this is a poignant example of a failure to replace old equipment. Once the reason as to what exactly the problem was, is discovered, the debate must immediately turn to seeking a new shuttle.

I think VentureStar is one name I heard

That one came out back after the Challenger Crash...somebody has been waiting to use it again since 1986..Thank you for unearthing it...:(

I just heard a really insensitive joke.

NASA = Need Another Seven Astronauts.......

Its jokes like these that could really upset relatives of the dead crew.

[Thorpe]

To all that have died on STS107. You will not be frogotten. My deepest sympathies to the families of the crew.:(

RIP - Space Shuttle Columbia crew.

Remains of crew beginning to be found, this confirms that they are all dead :(

Lets hope that lessons are learned but our expeditions into space will not be hampered too much, I'm sure they would be happy to see that.

Deepest sympathies go out to their families :(

[T.I.M.]

[Goldie fish]

[conco]
