I would hope that no one ever get killed. But, with any type of exploration, there are sacrifices. People died on boats coming to North America, they died exploring and settling the US. It's a fact of life, it happens.
We never asked anyone to put their life on the line. These people know the risks and accept them. There have also been experiments done in space that have helped medical reasearch. That research saved other countless lives. -----Original Message----- From: Angel Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 10:16 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: space shuttle columbia accident So how many people must be killed before you think it would be worth looking at grounding the fleet until the budget and safety could be beefed up? -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Dan Phillips [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] For as many missions as the shuttle has over over the last 20+ years and to have only 2 accidents. I say that's pretty damn good. Car makers can even come close to that and cars never leave the ground. It's a sad thing but it happens. I don't see the need to shut down the whole thing because only 14 people have died in the history of the shuttle. If we as a race, stop exploring new things everytime there is a tragedy, we would never make it. You don't think a few cavemen got hurt of killed while discovering and experiementing with fire? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
