Hopefully, whatever happened was at least fast and relatively painless. With speeds like that, I'd figure so.

Just a little question, nothing hostile... but why are they heros? This is just an accident and only 7 people died. Now think of an airliner 747 exploded in mid-air, they casualties whould be much much more higher.

#26, And their space program is really something to be proud of, eh? They've had far more fatalities than us, but generally do a better job of writing people out of the history books. Um, I mean, doing damage control :-)

#28, by the time Challenger happened, the Russians had lost around 8 men in training/liftoff/re-entry accidents
And the Russians are hardly on top, their space program is bankrupt, that's why they kept MIR up for so long, it was thier only source of income

#25, normally I'm also asking that question... but the astronauts knew full well that there was a good chance of something bad happening, but they still went up to further the space program and knowledge about space... they didn't just fly for the sake of getting somewhere like people on a 747 would be.
That's my take on it, anyway.

#31, A website I was researching earlier say that the the best guess is that since 1963, the Soviet/Russian space program has lost about 163 men, from ground workers to cosmonauts in various accidents, compared to 18 very public deaths in the US space program, don't look for the shuttles to fly again for the next 5 years at least, and when they do, it may be the new next-generation ones, this may have just forced the last of the first generation shuttles into retirement

#34, yeah cause i dont think they will use the two older ones, and their not going to want to use one over and over again. also their not going to waste more money to build new ones (current ones) just to replace them in a few years

Not many folks stop to think, that the shuttle is high-tech, but they are upgraded airframes that originaly flew in the early 80's, your average shuttle is as almost as old as the oldest still-flying 747's

#25, They're heroes because they risked...no...because they gave their lives to increase our understanding of the universe.
