Very true. What is supposed to be a historic moment in your family history ends up as a tragedy. The shock of going from excitement to utter terror must be so terrible. The Space Shuttle is an amazing vehicle and really doesn't get the credit it deserves from the tax payers. People don't watch the launches anymore. Most people can't even name an astronaut and most people do not know that the last time we went to the moon was 1972.
the worst part about that whole experience is watching the families react to thier loved ones dieing.
