Those astronauts thought it was worth the risk. More NASA employees died in car accidents last year than on space ships. Don't you think their deaths are just as tragic? I do. Those car accident victims died and what had they spent their life doing? Working for NASAs space program. Was that worth it? If you argue against NASAs policies, please use other arguments, such as waste of money, not risk to astronauts lives. Or bad goals. Most large building projects pretty much guarantee a few deaths. Are they worth it? Most people don't consider the deaths -- they look at the cost -- and that is more appropriate. War with Iraq -- now that's a different thing altogether! Not too many people are whining about the cost. - George Roberts mailto: gr@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~gr ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
