I do feel for the astronaut's families, and in
almost equal measure for the
future of humanity in space. We have *got* to find a better way of getting
in and out of the gravity well.
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.
