    Turns out risky business has risks.

    The interesting thing isn’t how many fatalities NASA has had but rather how few they have had. Exploration has always gotten people killed.

      I feel you don’t know what you’re talking about in this situation. It is well documented that if NASA had followed their own safety guidelines and listen to their own people, this would not have happened. So many people were waiting to watch the launch that NASA leadership felt they couldn’t abort. That is the sole reason this tragedy occurred, not “whoopsie daisy that sucks but we learned something” science.
