See, the thing about the shuttle is this....
No matter your religion, no matter what side of the goverment you like, no matter your social status, no matter your race, no matter if you want war or not, no matter if you like abortion or anything else.....
everybody loves the Space program.
What kid here in America does not have dreams of going up in space and floating around? What kid does no look up at the moon and wonder what it would be like to be up there?
And shows like star trek and movies like star wars just further the love and the draw of space.
No matter if the astronauts are houshold names or not, everybody thinks of them as great people and look up to them.
And to see what happened to them is just horrible. The threat of war, the suck ass economy and the crappy president we have has nothing to do with the sorrow the American people feel.
America lost great people. They will be missed.
