[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tahna Los: [QB] Shit. I get home while pulling a full day at my new job at Staples. I just can't believe it happened. Six of the crew were married. 5 had kids. It's hard for the kids when they look up to mommy or daddy as shuttle pilots only to find out that they aren't coming home. I thought that the Challenger explosion is supposed to teach a lesson to NASA not to take any chances. I guess this is not the case. Seriously, if they knew about the damage to the tiles, could they at least do something about it? I then thought of three possible rescue scenarios: 1) They repair the Shuttle before re-entry. This was dismissed after I found out that none of the crewmembers were trained in doing this. This may now change. 2) Send another shuttle to possibly transfer the crew out of Columbia. This was also dismissed as the logistics of getting a shuttle launched to meet up with Columbia is literally impossible as Columbia would have starved. 3) Send the shuttle over to the International Space Station, transfer the crew over along with the supplies, then send another shuttle over to transfer the crew home, or to repair Columbia. The ISS should have enough supplies, but there would be a question on if it will be enough. This has to really suck though. I don't think I could say any more on this. [/QB][/QUOTE]
