Yes, very sad. Hearing the news brings back the memory of the Challenger catastrophe.
Hope dies last. |

A terrible event, my thoughts are with the families of the astronauts.
It is also the anniversary week of the 1986 Challenger disaster. |

My thoughts are with you guys, and especially the families. My wife heard it on the 6am radio news, and we've been watching the tv since 7 (only 0720 now). I still remember the Challenger disaster, asn we were only talking about it the other day.
May they Rest In Peace. |

A very sad day indeed.
In the history of manned space flight excluding the space shuttle, I believe that five or less people have died in space. However, over the twenty two years of the shuttle program, fourteen people have died.
The Challenger 7 died becuase of NASA administration's management error. They gave a Go for launch and ignored the safe launch temerature conditions for the Challenger. I sincerely hope that NASA management isn't behind the Columbia incident as well.
