I can't believe this happened. You get desensitized to bad news after a while, but when my girlfriend woke me up and told me about this, I immediately has flashbacks to seeing the Challenger blow up. In my life, that was the the big tragedy until September 11th. This makes me very, very sad.
America's space program is limping along, anyway. Pure politics. Since most people don't know that the space program is responsible for so much of the technology we enjoy (medicines, artificial limbs, computers) they don't want to pay for it and the only things you hear about are the bad stuff.
My thoughts and prayers go with the crew and their families. This just sucks.
