Columbia still a tragedy

I detest the media. The Columbia destruction is a tragedy for both the astronaut’s families and everyone at NASA associated with the project. I am sure that nobody there is feeling relief that Bush said we will continue space exploration, as the pundits started saying after he spoke. I can’t imagine they are feeling anything but grief over the loss of their teammates lives and the failure of the mission, and agonizing over whether there is anything they could have done to have prevented it. I hope that people’s thoughts and prayers go out to them as well. The loss of lives that were in their hands must be personally devastating.
