GUEST,Johnny Space Shuttle Crash? (140* d) RE: Space Shuttle Crash? 01 Feb 03

I agree SRS. It is a tragedy with almost too much geopolitical irony, as I said.

But I am also reassured, knowing that for these 7 people, they lived a life fuller than all humanity, you know? They got to fly in space. What a gift. If I had to go after 16 days of flying in space, I can't say that would be a tragedy for me personally, even though I know it would be for my survivors.

So on the personal scale of the human beings killed, I don't think it matters to them. If it did, they wouldn't have been willing to risk their lives to do it.

Their families also knew the risks, not that foreknowledge of the risk lessens their loss one iota. The immediate task at hand now is to soften the blow as much as possible for them, and comfort the living.
