...for that matter, only 2 complete craft/crew losses for the shuttle
program in over 20 years; and including these, only *3* complete craft/crew
losses in a space program that's run for nearly 35 years? That's still a
damned good record in anyone's book, regardless of what the detractors may
say... Name me an aircraft or series of aircraft who can make the same
claim. (Noogies for the person who can name the *1* airliner that comes
closest to beating this record...)

As sick as it seems... these kind of accidents are exactly what brings
about the safer ways of doing things.
Nearly all safety measures we as society have for everything can be
traced back to someone (or many someones) being injured or killed.
