Don't know what to say about it other that probably what has been said already, but I couldn't help but think back to 3rd grade as I watched Challenger unfold in Sister Pachomia's class at St. Leo's grade school. When I got home, I remember my mom crying. She's a 4th grade teacher, and I think Christa McCulla was too. I will say this..... the knowledge we gain from space exploration justifies the dangers. NASA will identify what went wrong, fix it, and we will move on. That is what Columbia, Challenger, and Apollo 1 would want. We can discuss this, but I will request it locked if anyone gets immature or just stupid. Let's be adults and give this topic the respect it deserves.

STS-107
STS-51L

Together forever in a common bond...... advancement and benefit of humanity.
