Show some respect to this bunch of 5 Men and 2 Women, who were
brave enough to accept the risks, and move into outer space to
conduct scientific experiments for the benefit of human kind.
They were all ordinary men and women, but with extra-ordinary
qualifications in scientific research, and could have simply stayed
in the safety of their laboratories to conduct experiments.
This is no commercial joy ride on an ordinary commercial plane that
suffered some maintenance mishap.
All the space flights are filled with danger, as they are propelled
into space by highly explosive fuelled rocket engines, and return
to earth in a dangerous heat searing re-entry with temperatures
that reach over 3000 degrees Celcius.
[b]Whether it is an ordinary jet crash
that takes a few hundred lives or just this 7 lives, your
non-chalant attitude is repulsive, to say the least

Death is around us. People die doing new stuff. We have to be
prepared for any deaths "death" itself created creatively.
