Statistically, 120 americans were killed in auto accidents yesterday, with 120 more today. Most of them weren't even doing anything out of the ordinary (the remainder were drinking).

In the space shuttle program, they are pushing technology to it's limit, which means there WILL be fatalities.

Who deserves our mourning the most, the 120 or the seven?

Who deserves our mourning the most, the 120 or the seven?

uh, the seven, Rob.

You can spare me the cold and calculating callousness. I've seen it on another thread.

If you don't care about what happened today, why bother to post?

You're comparing apples and oranges. The motorists are going about their normal lives when tragedy struck. The astronauts gave their lives for us, in our service.
