: I agree with Mara. Let's face it, our planet is moving along on a track of deterioation. The rainforests, the ozone layer, the polar ice caps. We may live and die while everything is still ok, but will our grandchildren or great-grandchildren?
: We needs these astronauts and the space programs to continue what they are doing so that one day if humanity has to leave earth, they'll have that option instead of dying with the planet.
: Yes, thousands of people risk their lives and die tragically every day doing noble and heroic things and if all we did was take time to remember them, that's all we'd be doing.
: I think it's important to mourn the Columbia crew.

Good man, well said :)
