Anyone else think the media coverage of the Space Shuttle crash is sickening?

"It appears people don't want to see people die, just dead. "

Exactly, we will not have anymore vietnams either. Since then, the miliary, totally subverts the presses efforts to phtograph the trageity of war...Sad really from a democratic standpoint.

"They want to see wreckage, and lots of it in continous loops all day long"

LOL AMUSED, remember the ABC Wide world of Sports plugs with the skier...They showed that for like 20 years...And Nascar wrecks are the highlight to many..

So what's your point? Planes crash all the time. Shuttles don't disintegrate too often. Big difference between a passenger aircraft going down and a major part of our space program doing the same.

Screw the shuttle. A human life is a human life.

The point was what makes 7 HUMANS dying any more special then 250 HUMANS dying.

If the shuttle made a crash landing in Florida destroying the craft beyond repair, yet the crew survived THAT would be all that mattered to me. You can always build another craft, you can't do the same for a human being.
