The shuttle is itself supposed to be just that. We can all speculate and say they should have this or that. But remember, this is infact rocket science, it is a entire level greater than that of jet planes, and even the old rockets that were once uses.
If problems go wrong at such high speeds and altitudes, there is very little that can be done. Things go wrong, the space program performs experiments, hopefully we know enough to keep them as safe as possible. While satellites and rovers may malfunction and stop working, these are the risks we take, so that we may understand the universe around us. Gel, can you put a satellite in orbit? What about a rover on Mars? Things go wrong, people know the risks, they accept them, and they do their job. This is a team thing, every person has a role, those on board understand theirs, those on the ground understand theirs. To blame the program for such tragedies is to not understand the program. > -----Original Message----- > From: Angel Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2003 12:23 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: space shuttle columbia accident > > *sniffles* > > They should have failsafe crew compartments with super foam stuff that > protects them if it crashes. > > 0_0 > > -Gel > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry C.
