But no shuttles will launch again until this mishap is understood. If history is any guide, it will be years before we launch again, if ever.

Dammit.

We should launch no matter how dangerous it is.

We should acquire proper spacefaring capability, no matter how expensive it is.

There is no reason to persist with the thirty year old endproduct of bad design, bad engineering, and criminally negligent budgeting.

I agree.

If our astronauts are willing, and I'm sure they are, we must go forward as a brave exploratory nation.

However, there should be no more John Glenn, Chrissy Macaulif (sp?) joy rides. This ain't Six Flags.
