Re: New shuttle

Cripes, I love the doom and gloomers.

Hell, maybe we should give up any attempts at persuing technological 
advances and crawl back into caves.

The United States is built on innovation and discovery.  It's the only 
way to maintain our advantage in a world market.

If we stopped trying every time there was a mishap, we'd be as bad off 
as many of the third world nations out there.

If not for our push for space, we would not a great many of the 
household items the world takes for granted today.  Heck, this internet 
we use, the planes that fly, the cars we drive, the microwave ovens we 
cook with ... a LOT of stuff was invented, discovered, or improved by 
our push into space.

To give up because of an accident.  Sheesh, it boggles the mind.

Those astronauts are safer where they are than half the drivers on the 
road today.  Maybe we should "ground" every car that has had a piece 
fall off and see how many cars are still driving.

If at first you don't succeed, quit, is that it?

Incredible.

We need to keep pushing and keep trying.  If astronauts die, that's 
regrettable.  Fix the problem and try again and KEEP trying.  THAT'S the 
human spirit at work.
