It must be particularly sad for you - with the first Israeli on a Space Shuttle mission. My first thought was for our Aussie astronaut. He was not on board, but the world has lost 7 special pilots. > We feel so sorry for that accident. on the news they talk about > astronauts > will Parashoot to the earth.. I can't believe it.. I can not see this to be honest. Not at the speeds those things travel at on approach. They are pushing the envelope. They know what the risks are. I think the American Space program has done very well to log so many flight hours with so few lives lost. I hope it does not affect the program. My thoughts are with the families.
