Please give at least a small thought to the astronauts who just bought the farm. B*gger.

Very sad news... :(

http://www.nasa.gov/

 

15 mins before they were due to land.

Makes you think that mother earth is deturmined not to let anything into our atmosphere.

 

Very sad, least it was quick. No comfort but they didnt suffer.

Tragic

Terrible news :(

Very tragic indeed! Shocked to be honest!!!!

yeah, you sit and watch that thing on the news coming in and landing and you kind of get used to seeing it landing at Cape Kennedy... cool you think a space shuttle.

 

That is a space shuttle that went into space and did some really clever sh|t and furthered the progression of mankind instead of trying to bloody destroy mankind to hell :(

 

100% pure science snuffed out by nature :(

 

here is hoping that we can all one day explore space together, in peace, forever.

Very sad. I still remember the first shuttle accident vividly (I was at school then, and a bunch of us were very into space and space travel).

 

My heart goes out to the families who have lost husbands/wives/daughters and sons to the process of forwarding our race.

 

Better to lose them to a peaceful scientific cause than to another pointless war, though I'm sure that would be small comfort to them.
