I can't speak for anyone but myself.
My reactions to the shuttle disaster have been very mixed.
First I was shocked and surprised. After so many missions, you don't expect anything like this.
I was filled with sorrow for the families (especially the 12 children) of the 7 who died, but at the same time proud of the astronauts who lost their lives doing something they loved.
I'm proud of how the residents in Texas and Louisiana are handling this. I wish people in this country rallied together all the time rather than just when something very bad or very good happens.
